Call (800) 426-9400, and explain the situation. If you registered your copy, they should be able to provide you with a copy for a nominal charge. You will need your original CD key.

If your computer came pre-installed with XP, contact the manufacturer.

If Windows XP is retail, contact Microsoft:

If Windows XP is OEM, contact the seller, Microsoft may not be able to help
with OEM.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.
