Is there a way to recover the serial number from a acer windows 7 erecovery dvd, ( 3 disc set )
The Label is to warn to read.

It's a neighbours machine.

Mine's well backed up

THANKS, SOMETHING BACK

 

Did You (or your neighbour) "Keep the OLD" verion of Windows during reinstallation?

IF SO... you can find the product key in there... using a program to "See" what the product key was for that installation

the program is produkey from Nirsoft...
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Download and run the program then Then press File > Select Source, you will be presented with a new menu. On this, select Load the product keys from an external Software Registry hive and you will be prompted to open a file.
Navigate to the software hive in the Windows.old folder and open the hive. E.g. D:\Windows.old\system32\config\software. It should now find your product key.

Hope this is helpful

 

quick answer ( no )

Thanks for your reply,IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED THAN I FIRST SUGGESTED. THE HARD DRIVE HAS BEEN FORMATTED.
The installation from the recovery disks fails at installing number 8 of the acer software. The ctrl,alt,and delete keys bring up a passworded
acer screen.trying to boot to a safe mode screen gives the message safe mode not allowed.

This is where my years of computing know how fails me.

Thanks BRIAN8GBSSDLINUX FOR YOUR INPUT.
