Hi Carey,

I just visited the second site from above and don't see where
"Changing a Motherboard or Moving a Hard Drive with XP Installed"
applies to my situation?

In my situation I am installing Win XP to a new hard drive.
The entire system is remaining the same, except for the hard drive. In
other words, I have no intention of using my legitimately licenced
Windows software on any other computer except for the one I bought the
licence for.

Eric
