Hi Bill,

Probably not, just swapping the hard drive would not be enough to make the
system look like a new machine.

Unless of course the OEM version of XP looks for a particular HDD
'signature'

Usually the signature or "tattoo" they are looking for exists on the
motherboard, not the hard drive. That would be extremely nearsighted on the
part of the OEM manufacturer.
