Hi. It's been my understanding all along that you can change up to 5 system
components at once and still be able to activate a new clean install of XP
(RETAIL!). Because of this:

, and Seagates adament refusal to honor their warranty (they said the
printing on the drives label wasn't totally readable; this was the result of
me trying the drive in 6 different systems, one in a PC repair shop) I
decided to upgrade the mobo, but ended up with a nice barebone systems and a
Western Digital HDD. With this new install the motherboard with it's
integrated audio, video, etc., CPU, RAM and HDD will be new, and the only 2
things left from the last install I activated, which was the Seagate install,
will be the optical drives. Am I going to have a problem activating? This
will be the systems 4th mobo/CPU/RAM upgrade, and I haven't had a problem in
the past. Thanks!
