Well I reformatted my Hard Drive and for some reason, Microsoft Works and a lot of other softwares disappeared.
I didn't have any CD's or Product Keys given so I don't know how to get it back

When you reformat, you wipe the drive clean, nothing is saved
You can try Open Office, which is free, for your Office application needs:

To replace other software you lost, have a look at our Freeware Replacements forum:

^Thanks.
By the way, is it possible to copy the Microsoft Works from a different computer to mine? Or do you need a product key as well?

Only if you have the product key, otherwise it's a violation

^Oh. Never mind then. I bought my computer about 4 years ago and I have no idea where I've put all those stuff. I don't even think I got a CD or Product Key since it was already installed in the computer.
Thanks anyways
