Is there a way of identifying a product key on an XP Pro install? I have a
number of computers that were purchased new with an OEM copy of XP Pro. The
product key sticker was never put on the computers. Now, a hard drive is
failing on one of the machines, and needs to be replaced. But, I don't know
which copy of XP was installed on that computer. How do I rememdy this?

Thanks in advance.
