Getting a code back?

[kirbz]

Hi all

A guy at work was reinstalling his pc and has realised that he has lost his product key code. He brought an oem xp home disk with the code, he has the reciept of when he bought it. Is there any way he can get that code back? He got to the setup screen so the hardrive has been formatted.
