reinstallation, activation

[Justin]

if i reformat my hard drive and reinstall windows, will i
be able to activate windows with my current activation
code(which i am already using)?

You re-activeate as normal Justin. Just reinstall XP and then reactivate
over the net or by phone. The only time you will have problems is if you
have changed certain hardware, i.e., hard drive, motherboard etc.

Hope this helps

Yes. Worst case, depending on how long it's been, you may have to
reactivate by voice call to an 800 number (which you'll be
given), explaining what you've done, but that's quick and easy.
