under windows update I have been trying to install windows
XP service package 1, but it tells me that I need a
product key, and that I need to check with the
administrator, and such, I am the administrator, but What
is a product key and where do I look for it. I've been
trying to do this for months. I need help, please reply
back to me, I would really appreciate it. The windows XP
was purchased separately, it did not come with my computer.

Thank you so much.
