i hate commercials!

i would love to go, being broke sucks.

true, but if he cant get it activated i gave him another option.

lol.

i have had to do this a lot my self... (spent 5-7 years in a computer repair shop and more doing it on my own.)

or if he had an oem box theres a cd key on the side easy or use something like ProduKey to grab the key eather in save mode or useing another computer to host the drive. if you need a copy let me know i am not sure if the file is still around or not but i believe its free you just point it at the windows folder on the drive you want the key off of.

this is where you pull the data then pull a geek squad and wipe and reload it if you cant fix it in 30 min.

hell i have a i7-920 @ 4.2GH (20x210), 12GB of ddr3 1600, dual nvidia 275's in sil (does every thing i need to to do.), 1200 watt BFG power supply with a 1k watt pc power & cooling backup if it dies or pisses me off. 140 GB raptor drive for boot and os, drobo for storage (3.17TB full atm just ordered 3 2TB drives to expand it.), all backed up off site, dual 28" displays, and i have the cpu on water. all in all it cost me about 2k ~6 months ago.

we require more Vespene gas!
