Lost Product Code
I am about ot slide a new hard drive in on my self built system. Fresh install of windows xp with the same copy i used on the HD I run now, Problem: i lost the product code. Can i get the product code somewhere iwhtin the depths of my install? I needa put this drive in or i'm gunna go nuts.
Its a WD, and in the Datalifegaurd utility there is a "hard drive" swap option. Can i just swap the OS and EVERYTHING over to my new 120giger without reinstalling windows? |

I beleive you can get a new one by calling Microsoft. I'm not positive if it is free or not.

The Data life guard lets me copy the whole C drive :-/. Anybody think i can format and partition the new drive and just swap EVERYTHING over to the new one and unplug the old one?

You should be able to just mirror your drive.
