Default [Fixed] XP which cd is which

I have Xp pro on both my company lap top and my desk top.
My problem is I misplaced one of the XP OS cds but I cannot figure out which one I misplaced. How do I figure out which one is which.
Is there any way to figure this out in windows?
thanks

Are the XP disks OEM or full versions and are the pc's a different make DB?

computers are of very different make. the company XP cd came with the laptop computer already installed
the other I bought myself at the computer store and had installed on my desktop computer
not sure if either were full versions.

Ok
Well in theory you should only one disk, that being the one used on the desktop.
The other, (laptop) should be with your company IT admin.
Does the one you have say anything along the lines of;
"For re-installation of XP on a (eg Dell) PC only"

The IT people are thousands of miles away in Chicago while I reside in Japan, I had the disk.I misplaced it.
The company computer is a Vaio and says nothing about what you were saying. Is there a way to figure this out in windows?
thanks

Do you have the keycode stickers on the side/s of the pc's?
If so download this and compare the keys.
Magical Jelly Bean Software - Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v1.5

Don't you even have the packaging?

That jelly bean program did the trick, it seems I lost the CD to the company computer,Thank God.
I do not have the packaging but I did write down the product key and was able to compare numbers,
thanks so much
