If you haven't wiped your original install yet, you can retrieve the key like so:

If you've already reformatted, you're probably out of luck. You can try giving Microsoft a call, but they'll probably charge you a fee for Win 9.x assistance.

Heck, they probably won't just charge you a fee for support. They'll probably try to sell you a new copy of Windows 98 ;)
