No Authentication Code

[Jason]

There is a code that is supposed to be on a sticker on my
computer that I need to authenticate XP Professional.
However the IT guy that built my computer didnt give it to
me. is there anything I can do to fix this? Am I just out
of luck or can I actually undo the installation some way.
I am already into the installation where it asks for the
code and without it I cannot go any further. Everytime I
boot the computer it just goes right back to the setup. I
have alos tried running it in safe mode but that will not
work either. PLEASE HELP!!??!!

You'll need to go out and purchase a "Full Version" of
Windows XP since your Product Key is not available
unless you can contact your PC builder and ask them
for assistance.
