windows xp support

[Guest]

I have installed windows xp to my computer but it turns out that i have found
the wrong product key and now the computer wont let me start over with my new
xp cd. It keeps going to the point where I have to enter my other product key
which is for the old cd. i would like to use my old cd which is perfectly ok
but now that I have the new one I cant start over, any sugestions would be
greatly accepted. All I need is how do I start over.
