May ibang cd's ng XP po talaga na di na kailangang i-activate (as per chris_d's answer). Ung mga XP na cd's na un eh normally ung mga with Service Pack 2 na paginstall mo. =)
No need to activate kasi pag scan ng Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) ng serial number (tuwing na-update), oks na basta authentic ung serial key nyo po. HTH

Some original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and select installations of Windows XP that use a volume license agreement are pre-activated and require no additional steps to activate. To check your activation status, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Activate Windows.

When I removed retail XP Pro from my older HP laptop and reinstalled the bundled XP Home, the same thing happened. I wasn't prompted to activate. Of course, that bundled XP Home is tied to my laptop and my laptop only. I'm sure it's the same with yours.
If you can't find the Activate icon in the Start Menu, type this at the Run Box where c: is the hard drive letter where Windows is. It will then prompt if your XP is already activated or not:
c:\Windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A
