Finding CD Key without instruction manual

[Ramdude78]

Hi guys, I've played TDU before online(legally of course) with no problems, but now I have one. I recently had to have my computer re-formatted and all my files and data was almost completly lost. My problem is though is that I can't find my instruction manual with my CD Key in it and I know I could go here

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Test Drive Unlimited

 

but since my computer after it was reformatted has no memory of TDU, it can't find that file. I was wondering if there was another way to get my CD key so I could play TDU again?

If you've lost the manual, and formatted the PC. There's no way of recovering it, with the exceptions of:

 

- Buying a new copy

- Finding that manual

Would calling Atari work?

Not really, you would have to tell them your serial number to prove that you own the game...

 

Then again, I don't even think you can call Atari tech support full stop :cheeky:

You could... Do something very illegal so the police come to salvage your hard drive. When they do that, ask them to find your CDKey! Piece of cake! :p

Or send me the hard drive and I'll recover it for you. :p

 

Have a look around on the internet for a free trial of file recovery software. Even after a reformat, the data is still there and will be until you overwrite the area of the harddrive where the file was kept.

I got something called recover my files v4.6.6 but I don't exactly know how to use it or what I should search for. I knw the file is called something like CDkey.txt but I can't find it... help?
