Can someone help me, I'm trying to recover the cd key from my xp pro cd. I dont have the Key just the cd. Its a new install so there is no way to recover it from any registry.

Any HELP, Thank You

Unfortunately the key is NOT embedded in the CD, only a mathematic algorithm is; it checks what you type in as the key against an equation, and if all checks out, it accepts your key. You can use any XP Home key with any XP Home CD but you can only use one key per PC (legally). You can find more info on the math involved if you're interested w/ a Google search.
