is there a way to get a windows xp key code from a drive that won't boot?

this pc had a bunch of viruses and now it won't get into windows at all. It says i have to activate windows. To reinstall windows I need this customer's key code. Their data is still directly accessible via an external connection. I need to get the key code from the drive. Is there a way?
