I just purchased a Windows XP disc, to upload to my laptop...but I LOST the registration number sticker, as I threw away the package wrappings! Is my new software totally unusable, or can I somehow get a new number or way to register it?

The product key is on the case that the CD comes in, to prevent you from just throwing it away. Unless you took the CD out of the case and then threw the case away too (which I doubt), you've still got the key somewhere.

HOLY HELL! I just realized that I lost my number too! Well, there's still hope for me, there might be a copy of my number at my evil ex-girlfriends house. You could try calling "India tech support", but the outsourcing makes it impossible to understand what they're saying. I think your screwed, sorry. There's key generators out there if you feel like cheating Bill Gates, and risking piracy fines.

no its not unusable. When you finished installing. At the time of registration call the toll free number.
