I have two computers with XP Home Edition (with stickers) and 2 installation
disks (w/ no stickers). How can I tell which disk was installed on which
computer? I have to do a repair operation and don't want to get a
reactivation error.

If both disks are generic OEM install cd's (which is what it sounds like
since you have stickers on the machines), it will not matter which disk
you use.

CDs are note numbered. The product code is either stuck to the
PC itself or to the CD ***case***. Use keyfinder.exe
(http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml) to find
out which PC uses which product key.

Are both the same type, generic OEM? If so they are interchangeable with
either license key. There is nothing unique about the XP CD within that
same type:

Retail v. OEM
Home v. Pro
