Is there any place on my computer that has the XP System
activation code?

If it came with your PC, there should be a certificate on the case
somewhere.

The Product Key (which is what you want) is encrypted in the registry,
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
