I have lost my Windows XP Home Edition SP1 Product Key

I recently decided to reinstall Windows XP however, I did not notice that I do not have my Windows product key and my HDD is formatted so I have no way of retrieving my product key. Is there any way I can get a new product key ?

Answer
You purchased a generic OEM XP Home installation CD. It came with the Product Key. You didn't keep this key in a safe place and you do not know where it is? Had you not erased your hard drive, you could find out what it is that way, but even that avenue is now closed. Sounds like you're out of luck, mate. No way you can get a new key.
