Help!
Just purchased new Dell, which is working fine. (XP Home--all the updates
installed) Unfortunately the COA sticker was placed crooked on the top of
the machine and someone, thinking it ugly, stripped it off. I know that
somewhere down the line I will have to re-install the OS and now I have no
Product Key. I have the OEM disk from Dell, but their customer service is
pathetic in this regard--saying it has to be done through Microsoft. I have
Dell's service tag # and express service code #, but they cannot ID the OS
any more than saying it is XP.
Tried forums through MS website-- all leading to dead ends.
Is there possibly a SIMPLE solution to regaining my Product Key? I can't be
the first kid on the block....
