There's a ton online, which are safe?

Just need my product key so I can format my system and start from scratch.

I had one a looooooooong time ago but can't seem to find it on my HDD, so no idea which one it was. Perhaps the previous link will help.

Not sure if it works with win 7 or not but I've used Magical Jelly Bean Finder in the past with no problems. Even on a non booting drive, which is a huge plus.

There is a screenshot that shows it working with win 7, but then states on another page it doesn't. But the site is also selling another keyfinder program for $25, so it may just be a marketing thing. Give it a shot anyway, and let me know if it does work.

What program did you end up using? Just for future reference?

The first one in Pat's link:
Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder

Installed quickly, no issues, got my CD key in seconds.

Yknow, I posted my response in a rush, I kinda forgot to actually read that link. I suppose good information twice is better than bad information once though right?

No advice is good advice until you can convince people to listen to it.

unrelated to this topic, this is my new mantra.

An FYI in case you or anyone else wants their MS Office key - Magical Jelly Bean does not do Office 2010 but does do Office 2007 and older.
