Try this Sunday, September 28, 2003 at 5:39 pm Posted by Jerry (901 messages posted) See if you can retrieve your C-of-A number using this method: If you CAN'T get Windows started, you can extract the C-of-A from the SYSTEM.1ST file using DOS. At the DOS prompt, type "EDIT  C:\SYSTEM.1ST", and press ENTER. Use SEARCH to find "-OEM-" or "PRODUCTID". There's your C-of-A. (I stole this absolutely brilliant DOS tip from Gerry Kroll.)
