Cloned disk error 80090006

[Guest]

I created a cloned disk backup of my hard drive using Norton Ghost.

Having now installed the backup drive in my laptop, as the old drive failed
completely, when Windows tries to load my profile, a Windows Product
Activation window appears with the message "A problem is preventing Windows
from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error Code:
0x80090006".
When the OK button, on the message is clicked, the session logs off.

Any suggestions apart from re-installing XP? 1 of the main reasons for going
the clone route as a back up is that I have many other programs installed
apart from MS Office.
