Windows XP Reinstallation CD

Dell has provided me with Windows XP Reinstalltion CD but did not provide the 25 character Product Key Code.  Do I use the Product Key Code that came with my laptop or do I have to call Dell for the Product Key Code?

    Hi

    If this is true Dell XP you do not need a key code

    all you do is boot the disc and install it ,it will install

    without a key code XP is pre activated by Dell !!

    Good Luck

    Start your system up.

     

    When you see the Dell BIOS splash screen, start tapping F12.

    A list of how to boot up will be presented to you.

     

    Put the XP setup disc into the CDROM drive.

    Then select boot from the CD.
