I have a registared and activated WinXP os on my system. However the system has become buggy and I need to reinstall the os. My wife threw out the folder with the product key on it. I still have my disk. Is there a way to find MY product key on my computer before I format the harddrive?

The product key is no longer stored in the registry in any version of Windows XP. You'll probably have to call MS Customer Support to get a new key.
