Default Getting a registration key

I have windows xp, but I lost the activation key to register it. It keeps giving me the 30 days to activate warning and I am unable to download any service packs. Does anyone know a site that will give me a free registration key? Thanks

If you purchased Windows XP legally you can automatically activate your OS. Registering XP is different. You do not have to give your personal information (registering) to activate Windows. All you need is a legit version of XP. It seems you do not.
