| You cannot, period. It's encrypted and regedit won't show it. |

If you got a restore cd you could search it for files named *.sif, i think the serial would be in this. You might also search the hard drive for winnt32.exe to see if the cd is on the hard drive. The documentation doesnt say where the productkey is? WHy dont you just give them a call and ask? Hehe btw: on new oem computers (gateway i heard) the restore cd is in the computer in a hidden partition. So if you get a 40 gig drive, for instance, only 38 gig or so will be available because of this hidden partition. I think you reinstall by booting from a bootdisk or something, and it runs the setup from the hidden hard drive. I can understand why you would be mad! Cd's only cost $1, thats pretty crappy they wont give you a cd. I would suggest contacting the pc manu for more info, i dont support gateway.

Dotbatman,
Actually, it's the other way around. Microsoft has instructed OEM's NOT to give their customers the entire Window CD. No one likes it, but what can you do. It's Microsoft, and Microsoft does whatever it wants regardless of what the customer needs or wants. TL |

Ok mr techlarry, show me the document that says "oem's cannot send cd's to customers". This is not about people getting a microsoft oem cd, this is about customers not even getting a restore cd. Are you really saying microsoft is telling oem's not to put there software on there cd's? If you do you're a big moron. Ask any OEM, they can almost do whatever they want with windows.
