kdavis12508,

When you say you lost the product key, does that means you lost the physical product case and disk?

 

The actual product key label is attached to a paper card,  inside the plastic case. Open the case, remove the MS Quick Start guide to see the label.

 

If you have MS Office installed, the key can be found with Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Thanks for the Belarc Advisor link. I'm been looking for this software the whole time. I got a few drivers that I need to be detected. Cheers!

That is unfortunate, because AFTER Recovery reinstallation, those items have to be reinstalled and the key provided from the software package.  Belarc can only retieve the keys from a functioning product install.  Somewhere in the paperwork items that were saved when that software was purchased, there should be a tag with the product key for each to activate it.  Norton key might have come by email.
