I need to reinstall windows using the original Windows XP Pro Service Pace 2 but I have lost the license key. Is there anything that I can do?

Hi
The only thing you can do is call microsoft and request another key after giving them the actual cd's serial number and all that. I am pretty sure that they would be able to provide it once they have verified that you do have a genuine copy, but then again knowing microsoft you might have to pay for it or even worse they may prove to be completely unhelpful to you and ask you to buy a new one. But i ll say contact em and take ur chances. You might just get lucky.

A legit PC will have a label posted on the machine with the key .
There are several key finders here:
