Repair Install

[Guest]

I ran a repair install on XP Pro. It is asking me for the product ID. The
folder that the disc came in was long ago lost. Is there a way to pull the
product ID from the computer? Is there a way around this?

If you can boot into that installation there are a variety of programs
that will retrieve the CD key for you:
