am hoping to just reload win xp but unfortunaely i cannot find cd. i have the
product key as i stored that away safely but cd gone missing.

Is there ant way to download the xp cd

No
If its a retail edion & you can prove purchase MS can supply a new cd
If its OEM its back to that supplier
Or borrow the *exact same version* of win and install using your key

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.

Since you have the product key, if you have a retail edition of XP try
Bruce's link even if you don't have proof of purchase. If you have a retail
copy of XP a friend who also has a retail copy of XP can let you use his cd.
