Provided your copy of the game is legit, you should contact EA. They may be able to help you.

If not ring up the customer support help line. They can give you your key number if from a code on the disk. I had a similar problem with Elite Force a couple of years ago.

Well, EA changed there tune a bit. I had in my disks, but missplaced the guide to BF2 (which had my CD key). After a Reformat I was unable to reinstall. I called EA Customer Service, and they were unable to give me the key back. Even though this was a repair reformat and the registry values were still there, the only way I could get the key was by sending them the CD1 and 10 bucks for a new one.

There Is one exception, did you register the game? If so, using your profile, you EA will get it for you. Needless to say, I register ALL my games now.
