Alright, it's slightly more complicated than that. I originally tried to
install from my old disk of XP (without any service packs) on a brand new 320
gig HD. Because this version of Windows XP doesn't allow a 320 gig partition,
and apparently most of the drivers that came with my motherboard/tower that I
just bought don't work on it, I installed SP2, but this gave me the blue
screen of death on reboot. I was only able to load in safe mode. The guy from
the store I bought my motherboard from told me I needed to install from a
disk that has SP2 (or 3), and I'd be able to use the product key from my old
CD, but it told me that the product key was invalid. Is this because I'm
installing a different version of XP, or do I need to get a new Key now? This
has been the most annoying PC related ordeal ever...
