Default Lost product key on XP Home

I just got done building my custom PC and went to install the OS. It asked for a product key and so I looked around to find it but couldn't find it anywhere. Then I remembered that I threw away the shrink wrap and that the product key was on that. The garbage man already came so digging through the garbage will not help. So my friend said I could call an anti-piracy hotline and they'll give me another product key. What should I do?

i would try to call the anti-piracy hotline, they'll probably ask for proof of purchase or somerthing then send you another key, but if you can't get one then you know what to do

not get illegal but go Linux
