I have lost my Jewel Case CD to my OEM WinME CD. It is a real
hologram edge to edge CD. it has 0400 Part No X05-74739. I know how to
recover a lost COA number or Jewel case CD Key from a system that is up
and running before wiping it and installing if the key has been lost; but
I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge base and Googled it, and I can
only find where you have to contact Microsoft. The system the WinME was
on has been sold and that user bought a retail WinXP Pro and I put it on
and they let me keep my WinME OEM CD because they had no use for it. I
called the user and they sold the machine long time ago because they
wanted a better system then a 1Ghz.
I said I would install the WinMe over the weekend and then have the
definitive details one way or the other on the logo.sys Vs. sulogo.sys;
however without the CD Key I don't see how I am going to be able to
install the WinMe on my Spare test/pig machine. Anyone out there know how
to, or if it is even possible to pull the cd key from the cd it's self? I
sure don't know how to get it from just the original OEM CD and I sure
don't feel like sending Microsoft $30 like what it said in one of the
knowledge base articles for getting a replacement CD.
Seeing as how I am a OEM and if I build a new system I can legally
install the WinME cd to any new system I build and then sell the system;
but I would of course have to let the WinME cd go with the system, and I
would need the CD Key to do that, so as of right now the WinME CD is a
useless coaster.
