I lost my 25 character product key to reinstall my Windows XP Professional

I have my original XP Professional disc, but have lost my 25 character product key.  I need to reinstal the software again, but without the product key, I can't do it.  Can anyone help as to what I can do?

See you soon,.

Unfortunately, unless you find the 25 character product key, you are out of luck... Sorry!

    My 25 character product key is not recognized as mass storage controller is missing and a meesage RY5U870_Image Sensor06 is not compatible.

I hope that I have ave explained it well enough for someone to solve these issues. Dale a lot thanks

    The question of activation is because you cannot use a Dell OEM of Windows version to activate on a Sony.

    The questions ImageSensor and mass storage controller are likely due to the fact that the Dell installation media is not the device driver appropriate for your Sony computer motherboard.

    where can I find the product key inside the original windows cd

    Hello

    You can't find the product inside the Vista DVD key.

    Vista DVD retail are generic DVDs containing all editions of Vista and the product key is distinct for the DVD, but as part of the package you purchase.

    DVD OEM system manufacturers are the same.

    OEM Licenses pre-installed (HP, Acer, etc.) are the product key on COA sticker on the machine.

    (1) open an Internet browser window.

    (11) restart your computer twice.
    (12) you may need to enter you product key and activate it.
     
     
    However - this is not your problem, as you have also a blocked for Office Enterprise Volume license key.
    This product is only sold to organizations with a large number of machines for use on machines only - if you bought it, then you sold counterfeit software and should demand a refund from the supplier. You will need to get legal, by uninstalling counterfeiting and then by installing a copy legal, purchased at a reputable shop.
