Matt_ Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Is there any way to recover the product key from a Windows XP CD? http://www.last.fm/user/Matt714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Problem is that because of the total idiot that I am, I forgot to write down my product key only to notice moments later that I couldn't find the bloody certificate on my Windows XP jewel case! I have a DVD image with my Windows XP installation but I don't want format my data. There is IMPORTANT data on my HD that I absolutely need to recover. I did a repair installation and now I must continue the Windows XP setup but I don't have the product activation key on paper... I tried Safe Mode and Last Known Good Configuration but it doesn't work anymore. Is there any way I could recover my Windows XP from my image file because I really don't want to format. Or is there any program that can boot with a floppy or CD and recover my product key or even recover a few files of mine... they are really important. http://www.last.fm/user/Matt714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokoike Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 ...MP - get my grimlins! Maybe your dog can get them. LOL, maybe if they're stoned gremlins! After all, it is a drug-sniffing dog, right? Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

Mike Rochip Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 My dad once had a red Gremlin X with the really cool stripe on the side . I think it was a '74. It had a 304 and a 3 speed auto. After a while he gave it to my older brother. My brother asked me to help him take it to his house. I drove the Gremlin while he followed me in his car. He had told me to floor it when he flashed his lights so he could see if there was any smoke from the tailpipe or anything like that. We were going about 40mph when he flashed his lights. Obligingly, I floored it. The back tires broke loose, the car fishtailed a little, and took off. I was pushed so far into the seat my arms were stretched full length (I'm 6 foot tall). It seemed like a second before the car was approaching 80mph! I've owned some really fast cars, but I will never forget the night that little Gremlin surprised (and scared) the you know what out of me !

Dude, that picture is great! I laughed so hard I coughed up my spleen! At least I hope it was my spleen... Mike is hoping Toyota develops a car that improves the driver's sense of humor. Mike will then drive thousands of miles in the fervent hope this will improve his sense of humor until he is funnier than lokoike. Otherwise, it will never happen.

If that car would've had all-wheel-drive you would've really been surprised with the acceleration - so much so that your smile would've probably had to be surgically removed.

I had a '69 Mustang coupe with a 351W 4bbl that was unbelievable. My friend had a '69 Mach I with a 390 4bbl 4-speed that was more unbelievable! I like big cars but you're right about high performance small cars. Plus the sleeper aspect adds to the fun too ! I forgot to mention how my brother's Gremlin more than lived up to its name. It caught fire and was destroyed while he was in a convenience store . Found on eBay The best performance lokoike has achieved with his Yugo was when it started. Once. When it was new. Brand new.

Moderators Andavari Posted March 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2006 That pic of that vehicle found on eBay reminds me a another vehicle that costs about 40 grand and uses a motorcycle engine. I want one, but it has to be imported from Europe (Switzerland I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you haven't seen my recent upgrade: That, my friend, is performance. Nothing like a 6,000 HP JATO rocket. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl.
