If Windows is running and you originally installed XP yourself (i.e., it did not come preinstalled) then you can get the Product Key with one of these free keyfinder utilities. If this is a branded OEM machine (HP, Dell, etc.) then the keyfinder utilities won't be useful since they'll only find the OEM's volume license key which can't be used by you. With most branded OEM machines, if you use the reinstallation media that came with them you won't need to activate Windows.http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml -Key Finder http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html -Nirsoft Key FinderMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
