Reinstalling XP without disks

Further to earlier posts I think that I have to reinstall XP, but for
(legitimate reasons stated I don't have the original disks. I know
that XP online registration means that
the same version cannot be registered twice, but if I go in control
panel and then system it gives me the registration code. Can I then
borrow some xp disks from somebody, but then when the time comes
enter
the registration number from my pc? Surely the important thing is the
licence, not the disks.
