My computer hangs and I've run repair etc. I want to
remove Windows XP, take out the old hard dirve and insert
a new one so I can start from scratch with a clean
registry etc. What do I have to do in order to re-
install Windows XP and still be able to register my copy
without any problems.

Thanks,

Michael

yeah its a bitch but u bought it so bite it :D

Michael,

Once you clean install your OS to either the original hard disk or your new
one. You will be required to activate.
If your last activation was a significant time ago then you can just
activate over the Internet, try this first.
If this fails then you will need to activate via telephone this takes about
4 mins and is usually a toll free call. The wizard will provide you with the
appropriate number for your country.
