If Windows XP came preinstalled on the system, then the product key is on a
sticker on the tower of the system. If you purchased Windows XP the product
key was not on a CD sleeve, it was on the back of the large Windows XP
folder, on a sticker. If the above doesn't apply:

Contact Microsoft as I previously suggested. If they are unable
to help you, then yes, you are up the creek with no paddle.
