If you can't boot into Win Me but your hard disk hasn't been formatted then
you can try recovering the Product Key as follows: a) Boot to DOS using a WinMe Startup Floppy and select 4) Minimal Boot b) At the A:\ prompt, type the following with a return after each line. The spaces are important. c: cd windows attrib -s -h system.dat edit system.dat Use Search | Find to find 'ProductKey' The key used to install Win Me should be to the immediate right of the string ProductKey and of the form XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX Failing that if yours was a Microsoft rather than an OEM CD and you regsitered with Microsoft when you first installed Win Me the following may be of help.
