As an ex-PC repair tech who nows just works out of my house to help support my audio addiction I have all sorts of tech-tools. I have a small program that will read the encrypted XP code and tell you what it is. I can most likely send it to you as an attachment to an email.

Then install the program, click on the Icon and write the registration number down it provides you. Now click on the box that is asking you to re-registar XP. At one point it will ask you to insert the registration number ---{it's quite possible that it will accept the code the program gave you and re-registar XP by itself}--- if it doesn't re-registar XP it will give you a 1-800 # to call ---{someone in India will most likely pick up the phone}--- they'll ask you the make and model of the PC you're using and then they'll ask you how many times has this OS been installed or how many PCs is it installed on.

You just tell them it's only installed on this one PC ---{afterall to the best of your knowledge that's true, no?--- don't say I don't know or I just bought this PC used as that will stop the process dead in it's tracks! Once you tell them it's installed on only one PC they'll give you a long Alpha-Numeric registration number and once you enter that XP is registared and up and running!
