Yeah, the product key is specific to a version of Windows... so if the key is for WinXP Home, it definitely won't work if your bootlegged copy is WinXP Pro...
But even if the bootlegged copy is WinXP Home, it may work, but not guaranteed.
I've used an HP WinXP recovery CD to re-install a Dell laptop before though and got the original key on the Dell sticker to work.
