Is there anyway of getting a new key or will he have to buy a new key?? if so where the best place to get a new Windows7 Key cheap?
Thanks

Same thing happen to my sticker. I contacted the manufactuer, Lenovo in this case, they said I'm out luck LOL. Luckily I have hidden partition so I just pressed Recovery Key and I restore it to condition as it came and then retrieved the cdkey.
But yea, that had Home Premium, I installed Ultimate version right away anyway

I used the daz loader option in the end... New discs would cost £38 and the drive is completely dead so cant use the inbuilt restore partition or do anything with it

You don't need to use a loader, just install the correct certificate and product key that matches the manufacturer of the laptop. SLIC

How do I do this??
I tried using ABR to recover the key which it did but it couldnt create the other file that was needed (I think because the original hard drive was dead)??
thanks

I have a Lenovo (and never lost windows key). However, I installed ultimate using Daz loader anyway and the laptop would not boot up (missing drivers, etc). What a mess! I called Lenovo and they said I had to ship laptop back. Anyway, I did the restore thing by pressing recovery key and got back windows premium. That recovery partition they put on lenovos is awesome.
