... without restoration media.
Is that at all possible? See the laptop in sig, some friends gave it to me, I cleaned it up and it works like it should. However, before I wiped the harddrive completely (because man was it full of crap), I extracted the key using ... whatever tool it was, completely forgetting about the SPL thing. The COA sticker is removed, and I just assumed the extracted key was that key, but no, it was the SPL key.
One alternative is to buy restoration media, but screw that for an old laptop, which I happen to hate (what where they thinking when they designed that keyboard?).
Are there any simple solutions to this? The reason I'm asking is that I want to give it to a friend who needs Windows (recording/mixing software).
In casy anyone wonders about it, the SPL key is sort of ... embedded somewhere in the system and is blocked by the activation servers (iirc). This is why you need the restoration files, the copy of Windows that comes with the computer is preeactivated.
