            if you have xp already loaded just go to windows update it will check updates already loaded and go from there. if you were trying to load xp plus sp2 from disc on top of a pre loaded copy of xp then without the product code for that disc you will not be able to do it.
            if you are trying to load it with a clean install you will need a copy of xp plus a key gen which you will find on the net or somebody on here might point you in the direction of.

                if its a old laptop... the number on it is more than probley for xp before sp 2.... so will not work. for a legit copy of xp you try ask around your friends to see if any body has the orginal copy of xp pre sp2... and i'm betting the key on your lappy will work... then you have legit copy of xp installed.
                i'm sure it will be out there to download some where.
                best of luck... @manx.

                  I have got some windows key generators & Activators for windows XP, including service packs 1,2 & 3.

                  I could Generate some serial numbers for you, but will need to know what version windows Xp you have, i.e:

                  Basic, Home, Retail, Corporate, Pro or OEM.

                    I have a windows xp first edition disk i uploaded it to megaupload for someone else, boot up from it use your code from your machine and it should install, it's never failed on a pre sp2 code yet, I will pm you the links for it if you want.

                        i use nero and or power iso, look for win xp pro essentials in torrents read feedback , this works, no need for keygen.
