prx984 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 i have 2 dell oem xp cd's that when i install them on each of my dell laptops they automatically enter the cd key. i need to find out which disc has the code that goes with one of my dell laptops but unfortuneatly i mixed up the cd's. i have one copy installed on one laptop and the other is installing right now, but id like to know where i can find the cd key on the cd. if no one can help me thats fine, just wanted to know the easier way.-brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woelfman10 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Open up one of the CDs and go into the i386 folder. Open WINNT.SIF with a text editor. There should be a line that says:ProductKey = "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"So there's one key.Download and run Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder 1.5 Beta 3 from:http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2612It will tell you the key installed on a particular machine. There's your second key, so you can match CDs to each machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
