you have to call microsoft and tell them your problem that you change hard disk. then they will let you reactivate your product key one more time.

if you own an ori then it's not unethical to help yourself with a VLK.

You can't reactivate XP/Vista OEM if you change Processor/Motherboard/HDD, legally. whistling.gif
