license number

I lost my license number and I need to reformat the hard
drive. Is there any way to get that back. The 25
num/alpha key.

What you are looking for is called the "Product Key". If you have not
already formatted your HD, and if XP is currently installed, you can
download the free ViewKeyXP program from
http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm

ViewKeyXP will display the Product Key.
