I've just rebuilt a large portion of my system, including
a new hard drive and motherboard. When I now try to
activate XP Home, I am told that I have exceeded
the 'number of times you can activate Windows' with my
key. If I'm right, I've formatted four times since I had
my computer (this is an OEM copy of XP, btw) delivered.
I've activated it each time. It can't be that my key is
now useless, can it? Surely I'm still entitled to use it,
no matter how many times I format?
