Product Registration Code???

Is it possible to find out what product registration code is for an Operating System load disk?
 
Here's the problem.  I manage 3 Dell Dimension desktop machines.  One of them needs a a total reload.  The user has just thrown all their disks into a big cardboard box so what I've got is a choice of 3 different load disks.  None are labeled and all look identical. 
 
So which one is the right one?  
 
Thanks;

    rainycityguy,

    If all three XP Reinstallation CDs are Dell OEM product (and are the same version of XP--Pro or Home) they should be interchangeable. They are preactivated and normally you are not prompted for a Product ID during reinstallation.

    I don't understand?  If the other two machines are out there and registered to the m/s server won't the server report back that they are already registered, try again?
     
    thanks;
