Hello,
You mentioned that your friend has the same version of XP that you do. To verify this, carefully compare the Windows label displaying the key on his Computer Case with yours.
If they match, then YES! His product key will work with your CD without any issues.
Good Luck,

I'm not sure, if he is using windows xp it should work but, I would try a system restore from safe mode first. If it doesn't work you can spend a few hours on the Microsoft hotline with them and see if they will give you a new key.
