You can download the corporate version from PirateBay.org. You need
to google for it.

You are not likley to get any sympathies here for your predicament.

proven otherwise.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.

If you have a friend or co-worker with the same version of XP Home (OEM,
Upgrade, or Full) you can borrow the disk and make a copy of it. Use the
"Copy CD" feature of Nero or Roxio, or an image recording program like ISO
Recorder or Imageburn. Since you have the key that came with the computer,
you will probably need an OEM disk. Check with the IT department of your
employer. Somebody there probably has an OEM disk and can make the copy for
you. You may also be able to purchase a replacement disk from the maker of
your computer for a very reasonable price. Use your product key for the
reinstall.
