Can't find restore disk but have CD key

Hi,

After moving home we cannot find our restore disk, but the cd key is stuck
on the back of the machine. E-Machines e420.I am unable to open links in
explorer, and on frontpage I cannot use autoshapes or wordart. I would like
to re-install as I obviously have a prob.Would any Win XP disk allow me to
enter my own key or is the key unique to each disk?

Thanks for any assistance
