I have two computers. Both have windows xp loaded and
working on them. I have two windows xp cd roms with
product keys. I can't remember which cd and product key
goes with what computer. How can I determine which cd
and product key I used for which computer?
 
I can't recommend or endorse a 3rd party tool, but if you do a web search
for something like "find windows xp product key" you'll find a tool that
will tell you what PID was used on a given machine.
 
If you really need to know, and aren't adverse to the work
it will create, or alternatively want to rebuild your'e
PC, reinstall XP over the top of the existing OS on one of
your systems. When you are prompted to enter the product
key enter one thsat you have, if you have the right disk
it will accept it, if not use the second key that you
have. Windows remembers the key that you used on the
original build, and with the exception of a full disk
format, will only accept the original key.

You should be able to use AIDA32 Enterprise from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php on each PC to find the installed
Product Keys.
