Adding on to my last thread about my laptop biting the dust, I downloaded a vista recovery disk, (Defron) I believe posted it, and when I loaded it , and had no OS to install, but there was an option to enter your windows key. On my laptop this is a sticker on the back, HOWEVER ONE number got rubbed off, and I cannot make out what it is, nor will my laptop boot up, so I can find it. Is there ANY possible way to find out the serial number?

Call the laptop manufacturer.

Ahhh, damn Toshiba, I will need a 30$ phone bill charge for being out of warranty, but I will have to do this. Thanks.

well, if it was a number you have a 1-10 chance of guessing right

Or a 1 in 36 for numbers and letters.

I don't think windows has a for lock-out repeat serial attempts, so the chance of getting it correct is actually 1.

WELL. I got my OS reinstalled, all it took was a nother shot at the Toshiba Recovery Partition on my hardrive!
This can be locked, thanks for all the help, plus the others who helped in my previous thread.

You sure about the lock this time? :unsure:
