Check on the side of your PC... if it was bought with XP already installed there's a sticker with your CD-key # on it.
I hope your eyes are better than mine... it's really tiny, but legible.

If the computer still has XP on it, you can retrieve the key by using Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder.

There are some computers that have it right below or on the same sticker as the serial key. (usually found on the back of the computer)
Failing all of this, you might try Microsoft's support (though they may attempt to charge you if you can't provide proof that you own your copy of Win XP)

Well, assuming you still have the original disk and receipt, simply contact Microsoft and they will give you a new product key.
If you have a pirated version, don't bother. They won't give you anything.
