    Sorry to hear about your problem.  The number is usually on the outside of the case for the Windows CD.  The only other place I've ever seen one is on the outside of the Windows 2000 Manual.  You should have had one with the CD.  Hope this helps!

    You are in the wrong forum if you are reinstalling Windows Pro 2000. Which is it--Office or Windows? Office 2000 key is on the cd case. If you have it installed on a diff computer, you might be able to retrieve the key using the free Belarc Advisor. If it's Windows 2000 you are installing, the laptop should have the key for its version of Windows on a sticker on the bottom of the computer. It would also be on the cd case. If you don't have any key, see if you have a Service tag and contact Dell with that. The operating system is supposed to stay with the computer.
    PS Take the car to a mechanic!!!:smileyvery-happy:
