windows xp key

Here is the situation; I have windows xp on my computer with the origanal windows cd. I want to do a complete reinstall of my OS, the problem Is I no longer have the key for it. is there anyway I can find out the key on the system I have right now and write it down so I can enter it when needed.

There are a few programs that can extract your key from your current install. I think there was a thread about it here aswell.

Nevermind Sandra had the information under operating system.
