If you have an OEM version of Windows XP you will need to contact the
manufacturer/assembler of your computer.

To determine if your installed Windows XP is an OEM version open
Control Panel - System - General and look at the 20 character Product
I.D. code that is shown as the last line in the "Registered to:"
section of the window.

If the second segment of the product i.d. is OEM then you have an OEM
version. If it is a 3 digit number then you have either a retail or a
volume license version and the Microsoft link that Will Denny gave you
is the correct place to start.

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.
