About two years ago I purchased a HP Laptop from Office Depot for my daughter to use while in college. The Hard Drive crashed and all was lost. I purchased a new Hard Drive for the Laptop and I am trying to reinstall Widows Vista Basic 32b. I have the update
disk but the installation requires a Product Key. I looked on the bottom..., where the battery is, and the Prod Key is nowhere to be found. I know that companies sometime purchase blocks of licenses and never list them with the computers they sell. I have
s/n, p/n, model #, etc. but no Product Key.
Is there any hope?
