I got the nero disk free when i bought my cd room drive. it came inside the box. but i lost that box and i only have the cd key.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:If the CD comes with the CD drive when you bought it, the CD keys are automatically recorded in the CD itself. When you run the installation, the CD key will be there.
if you have the cd-key, why do u still want to find it in the com?Originally posted by aloof_guy:I got the nero disk free when i bought my cd room drive. it came inside the box. but i lost that box and i only have the cd key.
the cd key is listed on the cupboard covering used to place the disk inside.

according to this post, it is possible to retrieve your cd-key information via the nero website, provided you are a registered user. go ahead, give it a try.
btw, ito's solution may work, and is less troublesome, so i suggest you try that first. do look out for ad/spyware however. some malicious ones may tend to stick around in your com even after formatting.
