How can I extract the Opersting System (WinXP) from a Restore Disk (Emachine).

My original Emachine had a m/b failure. I took the guts/drive, etc
and put in a Gateway Computer. At the time I installed the Emachine
hard drives in the Gateway, I had to call Microsoft to get
validation. I had to give them the serial number and CD Key of the OS
from the Emachine.

Now I need to fdisk and reformat the hard drives, reinstall the OS
etc. I do not think the the restsore disks from the Emachine will
work on the Gateway. Therefore, I need to know now to extract the OS
from t he Restore Disk. Can anyone help? Any suggestions/information
would be greatly appreciated.
