Lost Product Key for Windows XP

I have a dell dimension E510 which I bought about 3 years ago.  I still have the windows xp disk but I lost the product key.  Now I need to reload xp.  How can I get a new product key for my xp disk.

    It should be or have been on a sticker on the side of the computer.... But....

    If it is an authentic Dell Reinstallation cd and assuming you have not changed the motherboard, the OS will reinstall without needing the Product Key. No activation will be required.

    Hi wbarnhart, As per hrova, but also should anything go wrong, then you will find your product on an blue sticker stuck to your system case.
