Long story but here it goes.

My notebook has dual drives.

C drive has Vista Ultimate installed but I do not have the install disk. Bought it used with no disk.

While installing SP1 the system crashed with an unrecoverable error, googled error and found that many have same problem - MS says reinstall operating system is the only answer.

So I installed a copy of Home Premium on the other hard drive and all is up and running including SP1. Apparently there were some incompatible drivers on the old install. Updated all drivers from toshiba's site and that fixed it.

So here is my problem. I can recover all my data off the old drive since there is a windows error not a drive error. The issue is my software which came preinstalled and I do not have any activation keys to reinstall on the new c drive.

I have tried every free key finder I could find and none will read any software keys on the second drive, most have detected both Window install keys. Some reviews have specifically mentioned that the key finder will detect the keys to Alcohol 120% for example but I can not get it to work.

Is there any way to run software installed on a previous C: drive that is now recognized as E: ?

Anyone use a key finder to successfully detect keys on a slaved drive? I would really like to keep and reinstall all my old programs that need product keys.
