 XP home product key
one of the people that i built a system for decided that he wanted to reinstall his os because he was frustrated with the amount of crap his kids put on the system.
well to make a long story short, he lost his product key. now i know that his disk was valid as i bought the disk and installed if for him the first time. now i am in the habit of registering XP for anyone who wants me too and i did register his, so is there anyway we can get the product key from that?
on all my computers i take the sticker and stick it to the machine the os in on so i dont have to fumble through a pile of keys wondering which is which, unfortunately, he did the same thing and also has 4 year olds running around...
sooo is there anyway to retrieve this? he has already reformatted the drive so any possibility of recovering it is gone.

details i can provide, i keep a copy of all orders made for every system i build including invoices for parts, (mostly cause i buy everything on line and i do it to verify my credit card charges)
its things like this that changes my record keeping, because from now on, i will probably keep track of the product ids along with everything else. as it is, i have all serial numbers, software versions that i installed, etc...
im kinda kicking myself a little because i always provide a type of recovery disk for my customers. it is just a lot of useful programs that they might need in case they do this kind of stuff.
i have a super boot disk, win98 bootdisk with CD ROM drivers, adobe, winzip, driver updates for the hardware if there any besides the disk the hardware came with etc...
now i probably put the excell viewer in there to and a copy of the records i keep...
