Re-installing XP Home Edition

[BAndrews]

I am trying to re-install XP. It is asking for the 25
digit registration # which I cannot find. It must be
already on my computer somehow, does Windows have it
logged somehow?

You can find the Product key with any of these:

Not sure if I know about this but, I thought that if

you have an OEM version of XP that there is a sticker
attached on the cabinet with the code?

get the free Aida 32, enterprise edition from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32
which is an excellent general System Info tool, and its Software -
Licenses page will tell you the one used for Windows and ones for
several other items.

Note that if the machine came with XP installed, this will probably give
a key used in producing an original image, then cloned to all machines
they make. So it is not the one for a reinstall. But then the key will
be on a label on the case of the machine
