Answer 1

i sent you a key in your email, try that one. i know how it feels to loose a key, there's not really anything you can do about it b/c microsoft is too worried about fraud. so they wont give you a new one b/c they think you'll sell it. they key is valid :-)

Answer 3

put your old drive as a slave and see ifyou can remote access the files...sometimes you cant boot but can access the data this way...then use a key locater or access file. there common free and downloaded online.
