Does anyone know of any keyfinders which are bootable from USB or CD/DVD. I've a Windows installation which won't boot.


Thanks.

The only two I know of that are bootable is Keyfinder Boot disk.It is not free but has a trial version.I dont know what if any limitations might associated with the trial version.

The other one is Windows Key Finder.it is also not free

Both are bootable Keyfinders that I think are what you are looking for as both will recover the Windows product key from a non-bootable system

Ok I booted up the second product and it says no OS was found. The Windows installation must be too corrupt.

Try Hirens Boot CD in the mini xp it has many password recovery tools you can see on this page ( http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd ) under the Password/Key Tools section

Edit: Download - http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/

Just going to go with a new drive at this stage,looks to be on it's last legs. Have tried many of the tools on the Hiren 15 disk and they fail to function.
