>The installation is tied to the old motherboard and
processor and nothing you do will get you into that
installation except perhaps putting your original
motherboard and processor in. I would only do that if
those old files are really super critical. I replaced a
motherboard and processor and this happened to me as well
so I thought that I would go ahead and reinstall. Well,
when it came time to Activate the new installation, it
would not activate and told me I would have to call a
Microsoft representative to Activate. Well I did and
talked to someone on the South Asian sub-continent who
refused to Activate the installation claiming that since
I had replaced the motherboard I would have to buy a
whole new copy of Windows.
