Recover Windows Product Key When System Won't Boot[Tutorial]
Anyone who has worked with computers for any length of time will have run into the problem of a computer that won't boot because of a corrupt hard drive, or some other reason, but worst of all the sticker with the Windows product key is missing or unreadable so now you can't reinstall Windows with the same valid key.
For this tutorial we will be using a bootable USB drive with BackTrack Linux on it. This will be used to recover the registry files from the unbootable system.
We will also need a copy of the open source program "Enchanted KeyFinder"
