Reusing a product key
I bought the windows 7 installer as an upgrade from vista. I bought it using the student discount. My hard drive went bad, but I used to be able to log onto windows. Now it's past that point and every time I try to boot windows, it will give me an error message. When I log into Ubuntu from my flash drive, it fully recognizes my bad hard drive and can read files from it. I am getting a new hard drive anyway but, how can I get the product key off this hard drive so that way use it on my new hard drive to install windows 7? I have the key printed, but how can I use the key again if it is already in use?
