Okay, I put my stupid cap on the other day and reformatted a Dell desktop with a Dell reinstallation CD (XP Home SP1) from a Dell laptop. The desktop is at least five years old, and was upgraded to XP, whereas the laptop is only two years old and was shipped with XP originally. I still have the damn box from that upgrade (for the desktop) with the product key printed on it, but I've moved several times and can't locate the actual CD.
What's the best (read: most inexpensive) way to get another product key so I can activate this reformatted copy of WinXP?
