I found this outstanding explanation of Windows XP activation...
http://aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.htm
I have a question regarding my current situation after changing the hard drive and restoring windows from a Drive Image
partition backup.
The above page says...
"The disk drive and partition recorded will be the ones that the system has found first when doing initial activation..."
No I have a hard drive vol that does not match the one when I first installed Windows. I think that means that the vote
for that hard drive is lost forever. Is that correct?
I similar situation seems to exist with the Ethernet connection. Originally the motherboard LAN was used. Do to
failure, a PCI network card is now used. Have I lost the Ethernet vote forever?
I ask because I keep running into occasional reactivation requirements. It's always at a really bad time.
