I am a bit confused, I used a utility to find my product key but the key was different from the one one the side of my computer?
Which one should I use? Is it safe to format my hard driv? In reply to jsknight's post on December 3, If you have a computer that came with Windows pre-installed, the "original equipment manufacturer" OEM almost certainly used a special generic product key that Microsoft allows the big OEMs to use in order to make and "pre-activate" their thousands of machines.
That key is what will be shown by a keyfinder utility The specific machine you bought has its own individual license, and that's what's on the sticker.
If you reinstall Windows using a special "hidden partition" on the hard drive, you don't need to activate the computer at all. That method of restoring gets the computer back to the way it was when it first left the factory, i.
On the other hand, if you reinstall Windows using a "generic OEM" CD one not specifically for your brand of computer , you need the product key from the sticker in order to activate. The CD must be for the same version of Windows e. If you bought a new version of Windows, it will have come with its own product key, and that's what you should use, not the one of the sticker or the one used by the original manufacturer. If necessary, the installation process itself will do that.
Actually, you wouldn't be able to format the system drive from within Windows; you'd have to use a different tool to do that think of sitting on a tree limb while wanting to saw it off. Before you get yourself in trouble, perhaps you'd care to explain a why you think you need to reinstall Windows and b what method and what media you plan to use to do this.

In reply to jsknight's post on December 4, A "Windows XP disk created from a Dell machine" is a bit vague and it's also not clear to me if the old machine where you want to reinstall Windows is the same as the Dell that you used to create the CD.
In general, a system restore disk created for a Dell computer won't work on a non-Dell computer. I'm far from a Dell expert, but it's my understanding that Dell provided a mechanism for creating system restore disks, but only starting with computers sold in That doesn't seem to be what you're referring to.
