I need to reinstall Windows XP Pro but I lost the Product Key number.
Is there a way to get this number off of the Windows cd?
 
The Product Key for Windows XP is not stored on the
Windows XP installation CD.

If Windows XP is currently installed and running:

Visit http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and download the free
Belarc Advisor. After running the program, look under the section
titled "Software Licenses".

If Windows XP is not currently installed and running:

i dont think there is a way because ive lost keycodes for many games and i couldent find it.

the only reasonable thig i can think of is it has somthing to do with the
serial number or the disc barcode.
i have burned games and reg codes dont work on burned cd because of diff
serial number.

The key is not hard coded to the CD.
