Could you be referring to a product key? It's on a sticker that is
either attached to the computer or to the installation CD envelope.
Can't find it? If you can provide proof that you are the owner of the
software, Microsoft might be able to help you.

You would need to purchase a Windows license with installation media if you
want to run XP on it, "xp loaded off limewire" is pirated software.

Sure, you can get it off the PC. Put any other XP disk in, boot, and get
to the part of setup where you choose partitions.
Delete the partitions, and then shut down. You're done, and the drive is
ready for its next OS.

If that Product ID is in the operating system, I believe you can find aajsv74 said:i realize you can buy a legal copy and i have with my other 3 comps

program (small script) that will find it after using a boot disk.
You would have to Google for it.
I'm really not sure what number you need as I am not familar with XP, only
Win2000Pro and Win98.
I didn't realize that WinXP actually asks for the Product ID when it is
booting up with a previously installed system.
