Cheryl;
The Product Key is not on the CD at all.

If Windows XP is installed:
http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm
Near the bottom "View Product Key XP"

Otherwise if Windows XP is retail contact Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326246

If Windows XP is OEM, contact the seller, Microsoft can not help.
