How do I reactivate XP Profressional on the same PC?

[Phoenix]

I initially activated XP Profressional on my PC. However, the PC needed
further work from a technician and in the process everything was deleted and
XP reinstalled. I am now receiving a reminder message to activate XP
otherwise it will be eventually deactivated. So when I attempt to do this I
receive a message saying that XP has already been activated on another
computer (I am assuming that was the initial activation on the same
computer.) So how do I reactivate XP on my PC?
