Hi Naseer_Din,
Do you have the old drive and does it work?
If it is still working you can attach the hard drive externally and with a program like Nirsoft Produkey get the key from the drive.

Click on file and select source
Choose load the product keys from externa Software Registry hive and Browse to:
(drive letter): Windows\system32\config\software and click OK
Now you should get the product key.
Hope it helps,
David
