A friend's Vista-based computer won't boot, so I am just going to format and reinstall.
The problem is that she never kept her product key for Vista.
Is there any way to recover that key from her hard drive (which is currently plugged into my computer as a secondary) without booting from it?
Answer
Here's a utility that claims to be able to pull the install keys from a non-booting drive:
