activating vista with same computer and different HDD

[Guest]

I installed a larger HDD on my computer amd now it won't activate. Vista sees
it as a new computer. I have had Vista over 90 days and don't want to pay $59.

Mobo-Asus P5Ld2 delux
Processor- Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz
Ram- 2 GB
Video- G-Force 7600 GS 256 MB

Hi,

Use the phone activation method, it won't reactivate over the 'net. If the
automated system doesn't do it, just hold the line for a real person to
assist you.

Please use the phone activation method. Stay on the line till a live person
pick up. Explain what you have done and they will assist you. Takes 5-6
minutes.

It takes 5-6 mins after you wait on hold about 1 hour.

You may ask why do I have to wait so long on hold ? Reason is that your in
line with a lot of people that have the same problem.

Enough said.

I rang the toll-free UK number and was activated within 5 minutes of
dialling. And this was re-activating an OEM licence for a near-complete
hardware change (motherboard, graphics card etc).
