Need to Reinstall Win 7

My computer crashed and I had the hard drive replaced by a friend. Now, I need to reinstall windows 7.  The operating system disk came with my Dell Inspiron 1470 and I have it.  I am ready to install the software and the cover of the disk said to look on the bottom of the computer for the product key.  It is there; however, the numbers/letters have faded from rubbing against things over time and I can't read it!!!!  Where can I find out what the product key for my system is?  Please help!

    Hi cmspruill,

    If the CD that you have is a Dell OEM disk then product key is not required while installing Windows on the computer. Please use this link to install Windows 7 on the computer.

    Note: Ensure to back-up the data from the computer before performing Operating System reinstall.

    For any clarifications feel free to contact me.
