I have reformatted my computer, now i can not activate office xp

[__RavErz__]

I normally reformat my PC every 6-12 months, i have 2 partitions and i
normally only format my D drive while microsoft office XP is on my C drive,
well a few weeks back i decided i would reformat both partitions, so i went
and did that reinstalled windows xp professional (with SP 2), and proceded to
reinstall microsoft office xp 2002, upon installing i was asked to enter my
cd key in which i did, then i was asked to activate so i chose to activate
online, but to my surprize, it said my cd key was already in use, well i
guess it was in use, but it was in use by me. I am wondering what i can do
about this, or will i have to contact microsoft and tell them about the
situation.
