Lost my w2k serial, what can I do?

In short, I lost my serial for Windows2000 OEM-version. The key was on the manual which is nowhere to be found...What can I do?

Call Microsoft? Can they help me with my problem, especially when it's an OEM-version?

Get somebody else's cd-key? But isn't it cd-specific?

Find it in the registry? I've only found the product id, which isn't the same as the serial...

Before you all start shouting <nasty W-word> let me tell you I'm using a legit version of w2k, so I have the nice shiny hologrammy disc and the proper licence (which is lost though frown ). And please, no patronizing, I've already hit myself over the head a couple of times for losing it laugh

Call MS, and they will help you out. If you have the pimpy disk, I am sure they will give you a new key.
