Tell your friend to go out and purchase a retail copy of
Windows XP and then perform a "repair install".

It's because of people like you and your casual copying/piracy practices
that we are stuck with Windows Product Activation in the first place! Tell
you friend to go down to his local computer store, BUY a copy of XP instead
of pirating it, and perform a repair installation. He'll then be able to
change the product key to his own legal one and activate his own copy
Windows...
