Non-booting Win 7; need version and serial key.
Hello, I just joined.
We have an office Dell Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7 that doesn't boot. I booted from a Ubuntu DVD and copied some of the important files, but Ubuntu shows only two of the four partitions; the other two it seems have become corrupted.
I have the Service Tag and the Express Service Code of the laptop.
What I want to find out is the Windows 7 version - whether it is Professional or Home Premium, and also whether it is x32 or x64. No one in the office knows this; all they know is that it is a Dell laptop and it runs Windows 7. I"ll also need the serial key, which I'll use later. Is it possible to do this by booting from the Ubuntu DVD? Once I come to know about this, I'll format and reinstall Windows. I already have my own Win 7 DVD; whether it can be used to install Windows in the office laptop is a different matter, as my version might be different.
Thanks.
