To start with Jellybean will only read the reg. file to get the CD key number not 
the activation key , and if win2k is the only OS on the machine that's what you will 
see..
activation key is encry. code...from MS...when you activation it's software....
send me the numbers and I will tell you what you are looking at and if it's XP cd 
number I will know...
sound like you or he is rolling funny stuff....and taking a hit or two...
