OEM versions of Windows XP are not supported by
Microsoft. Only "retail versions" of Windows XP are
supported by Microsoft. Microsoft cannot issue you
a replacement Product Key for an OEM version.... only
if it were a "retail version".

| I installed XP on my desktop. Recently bought a new hard

| product id code. I purchashed it from a small retailer
| that doesn't have the number, Is it possible to attain a
| number?
