It's an older machine (Sony)

That got upgraded to WinXP at some point. My son can't find the CD's that they used to upgrade it with.

Seems like I've used a utility to retrieve the License number from the registry before. Will have to track it down. Though I don't know if it will work when the MS Diag tool is attached to the OS.

So you don't have the license number for the upgrade?

The sticker didn't get put on the machine? If you can't boot the machine you've got a problem. Keyfinder by Magic Jellybean will recover the license numbers from a running system but I've never tried recovering it from an unbootable system.

Hmmmm . . just looked and the current version of keyfinder - it has a "Load Hive" feature that may be able to get the information from another disk mounted to a bootable system.

If there are really aliens, I would think that L. Ron Hubbard would have to be one of them.
