as of right now i have a copy of xp pro on here that i was fortunate to have or i would not be on here right now, i have lost my serial keys for my original dell reinstallation of windows for mine and my gf dell systems, so i was wondering is there a way to get the original serial keys for the disks i have, and i need to redo my computer, have tried to several times acually with no sucess, i have tried to format my c drive but cannot for sumk reason I'm thinkin becuase its it ntfs format, not sure but I've never had to format a drive with this type system , all my others have been fat32, i have my pro installed on my e(media drive) right now and its runnin really slow becuase i installed it without formatting it prior to instalation because it was an emergency instal or i would have lost everything on it becuase the operating systm on c drive was screwed up somhow and wouldnt boot, my quastion is how cannot i format the c drive, i have tried to and when there is a startup disk in the floppy and i type format c: it says "not a valid command name" nor could i do it when i was trying to from my computer and righting clicking on it and selcting format, this was obviously being done after i installed pro onto e drive, but thats what i have typed everytme i have formatted from dos before i switched to ntfs format now it will not format, i know this was in too detail but I'm stuck here with this slow system
