I have a hp laptop and i got a proof of license on the base of the laptop has shown in the link below

i got a friend of my mine to give me a copy of his windows xp cd so that i could repair windows on it using my own serial number as hp didnt provide me with one, however when i come to enter in the laptops serial number it says the serial code is invalid, did someone copy my serial number or could it be to do with the installation cd itself?
ive ran windows genuine software on my laptop before and it didnt show any problems, and due to the serial number being incorrect i cant even exit the repair program, therefore my laptop is totally frozen
the installation cd is for windows xp pro and the serial number i have is for xp pro as well so as far as my knowledge goes it should work, anyone have any ideas?
