If you cannot use this path to copy the required files from, insert your operating
system CD, and then click OK
If you only have a recovery disk then you may need to borrow a CD with the OS on it
if it doesn't read the recovery disk..
If you can't do either, then you will have to restore the key from the backup you
made before deletion.

| Hi TaurArian,
|
| Thanks for your quick response. I was able to delete the key, but now I am
| not able to proceed in the step 4. When I try to install the automatic
| service, it is looking for the CD but even when I type in the command
| '%windir%\servicepackfiles\i386' in the path it is not proceeding. I tried to
| locate this file form the installation cd (recovery cd that came along with
| my compaq pc), but not successful.
|
| Please help.
|
| Thanks,
| Dany
