How to find Windows Product Key on Windows XP CD
Just got this email tip on how to locate the product key from your Windows XP CD. Haven't tried it myself, but if some of you are looking for your XP product key - here's a good place to search:

Find Windows XP Product Key from the Windows XP CD:

1) Insert Windows XP cd into a working computer.
2) Exit the Autorun introduction.
3) Open "My Computer"
4) Right Click on the Windows XP cd-rom drive and select explore.
5) Open the USWXP32P_ZX folder.
6) Open the sysprep folder.
7) Open unattend.txt

Your CD's product key is contained within the unattend.txt file.

Note: On some system disks, USWXP32P_ZX is a hidden folder. If you cannot locate the folder, you may also search for unattend.txt and mark "Search Hidden Files".

As best I am aware, this should work on Microsoft Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, and OEM versions of Windows XP from restore disc

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Your operating system product key is usually located on your computer somewhere, if you are using the edition thatit was originally installed with eg: pro home etc you can just use that.

Iknow it's possible. I had to reload my xp o.s. using network disk. That workedto load o.s. but had to purchase new wga from microsoft. crashed again, and did not /do not know how or where to retrieve the working code that microsoft gave me. The code in the "unattend" file worked for loading purposes, but I don't really want to have to get another product key from microsoft. Help, I know it's in there somewhere.
