Each CD has a specific CD key to avoid making copies of it to sell it to others. This means each CD can only be installed once.
Your options:
- Get the original version of your copy, uninstall this on the PC it is used on, and install it on the PC you like with the CD key (the CD key can be found inside the box or on the backside of the manual).
- The second option is to just make sure the original version is uninstalled wherever it was installed on, so you can use the original CD key (if you have it) to install it.
Otherwise I am afraid you cannot do anything with a copy of the game, and you will need a new CD key, but that is only gettable by buying a new game (original). The goal of a CD key is to avoid having people making copies, and that is what I think happened to you.
I hate to tell you this, but the company that makes these PC games keep track of all the serial keys. For example: If someone uses this key: CCCC-DDDD-KKK-YYY... and they give it to you. You type it in, but it'll say something like: "This key has already been used...", blah blah blah. Isn't the key suppose to be in your CD box or manual? oh yea. Rate plz.
If its a PC game, than you may be able to go online and find a CD key generator for that game. It may take some digging around on the internet though. Go online, and search for "Halo Combat Evolved CD Key" or add "generator" to the CD key part. That is a bummer Good luck. I can see both sides, he's probably a bit angry you threw it away, and you feel bad, so I'm sorry for both of you.
