There is no key on the Windows CD. It's a seperate piece of paper unless he's using a pirated copy of XP Pro. Guess he's SOL.

There is a program called Belarc Advisor That is free.
You can install it on a computer and then when you run it you can see your Windows key number on the display or the printout should you print it. This would mean that the computer you want the key number from would have to be operational. If you can get it to run long enough to run Belarc Advisor then your in luck. Here is a link to the program or just google Free Belarc Advisor.
