There are no work arounds to get past the product key when installing software.

If you still have a working system that you installed XP to from this CD, you can recover the key.

There are a number of software packages that can recover the key on a working system.

Check out this TR article on Magic Jelly Beans key finder:

Remove any spaces from the pasted link.

If you have a valid legitimate copy of XP there are several ways to find the key. On all new computers sold with XP installed, the product key is normally on a sticker fixed to the case somewhere. On a laptop, it is normally located on the base of the machine.

If you registered your copy with Microsoft (as you are supposed to and prompted to!) then you will be able to contact them by telephone and they will give you a new key PROVIDE you can satisfy them that you are the original registrant, and that the machine you are re-installing it onto is the same machine that it was originally registered on.
