Re-installing windows, please help!

Hello,

I formatted my pc yesterday and I have all the original CDs from Dell to reinstall Windows, but I cannot find the serial numbers. Do you know what can I do to get them? As they are the original CDs, would Dell facilitate the codes? Is there any other way to do it?

Thanks!

Dell usually stick a label with the serial no on the PC itself.

Thanks!

The Windows XP Cd supplied by Dell is able to read the code from the PC BIOS itself so you probably won't need to type it in manually. I'm not sure about the other applications.
