Hello. I am working on my PC, the hard drive was about to fail. I purchased a new HDD and I need to reinstall Windows Vista Basic 64-bit. Normally I would just boot to my Vista CD and type in the Product Key on the bottom of the machine; however, there is not key on the bottom. It did not come with one. I noticed there was a recovery partition (D:)  on the old hard drive but I don't know how to boot to it on the new HD. Is there a way to load the recovery partition onto a disc if I re-install the old HD or make new recovery media on vista? Please help.

Download a free app called magical jelly bean.
It will print out your product keys that you can use for a reinstall.
