I was working on a laptop with a broken LCD to find that the wires inside are completely trashed and except sending it into Toshiba (no warranty) to be repaired (which would be several hundred $$) I offered to take the laptop off his hands for $100.
Well. This laptop came with XP Media 2005 but he upgraded to Vista and does not have the packing that came with the CD anymore.
It's still installed and I want to reformat as it was for his daughter and its full of absolute junk and spyware (mouse cursors and flashy BS all over the place). Going to just use an external monitor for it and find a use for it. Otherwise I'll just part it out.
Any possible way to get the cd key via the OS? Is it stored anywhere?
Thanks, ps2cho
