Berserk87 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have a legitimate version of windows 7 home premium but I can't find my disk, so I need to recovery my key from hard drive. The problem is that the hard drive I had windows 7 on is part of a broken RAID. Using R-Studio I can create a virtual RAID and recover files off of the drives, but I cant use any key scanners on it, since its virtual. I'm trying to figure out what files/folders I would need to recover and what program I can use to give me my key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
