Windows XP master disk

is there a windows disk that will accept any key? I have a problem with clients not having their windows disk and only having their key on the machine. I need to reinstall windows on machine constantly and this causes big problem with work flow.

I need to know if I can buy such a dick for windows xp home and pro. I just have to go through so many disks its cumbersome.

I'm not looking for a bootleg pro disk, I need something legitimate.

What is the best way of going about reinstalling windows on machines without a disk then? if you had to do so?

use image software such Acronis to backup your current os which include all programs and settings then enable Startup Recovery or create a bootable disk including image to reinstall image in same pc or others that has same hardware ;)
