Finding the Windows 98 Product Key.
2007-02-07 01:46:01 Because you were asked for the Key when you first installed Wind ows , it's saved in the Registry. Even if you are unable to start Windows, as long as you can get to the command line,(a C: prompt) you can run this on the SYSTEM.DAT file that's part of the Registry. For Windows 98 installations, type:find.exe /I "Product Key" %winbootdir%SYSTEM.DAT The first line of the values returned should show the product key in a form similar to: ?????-?????-?????-?????-?????.
