Began to Reinstall XP Pro but LOST Product ID!

[Guest]

My system has WinXP Pro installed. But began to do a fresh reinstall [ by
mistake! ] then realized that I lost the Product ID sticker. I never stuck
it on the case.

Can I retrieve the ID on the system? When I boot I get the install menu ONLY
and dont know how to get a DOS window.

If Windows XP is currently installed and running:

Visit http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and download the free
Belarc Advisor. After running the program, look under the section
titled "Software Licenses".
