Hard drive went bad did not create a recovery boot able disc. Installed new Hard Drive and have created an ISO to burn to disc. However do not have the product key and not able to boot from the disc.
 
Hey there.

Is this an OEM Windows (was it pre-installed on the computer when you bought it)? Perhaps there's a sticker on the computer's case somewhere (the back or bottom) with the Key for the OS on it. If not, I'd recommend that you get in touch with the computer manufacturer's customer support and ask for assistance. They might be able to help.

Hope that helps.
