    So all of these programs to read the licence key from the replaced hard disk are going to work then?


    Get a copy of the key from another student, they are all the same.

    It might be easier trying to find the product key than the class of students from 2007/8:D

    Currently the replaced hard drive is sitting in a box on the table. I will take it to my computer geek friend and see if he can recover it, if not it will be trace a student time.....
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!

    If the old hard disk still works, you should be able to put it in an external enclosure, connect it up as a secondary drive and i'd imagine get the product key off it:)

    If it doesn't work/has a serious problem you probably won't be able to.
