Key is not on/in the cd, its on the cd case, usually an orange sticker
marked 'do not lose'
If win2k was supplied pre installed on your sys its possible there is a
sticker on the PC case.
If you can supply proof of purchase of a retail version of win2k MS may
supply a new key, other than that find someone with win2k cd and use their
key

The key finder would find the new key.

If you have an OEM key it should work with any OEM media; but IIRC not all
Windows 2000 OEM media would work with any hardware so your mileage may
vary.
