I am attempting to try to install my SSL certificate on a server and I have lost my key file that was generated when I was creating the CSR file for the SSL application. I am fairly certain that this is a unique file and simply creating a new CSR file wont make the key file that I need. Is there anything that I can do to get the same key and CSR file that I had before? I used godaddy to get the certificate if that makes any difference.

No, there’s nothing you can do without the original key. Some CAs will reissue a certificate due to a lost key, others you’ll be paying again.
