Reinstalling WinXp on a different computer

[Andrew]

I recently got a new computer and when i booted it up for
the first time, it prompted me for my CD which i had from
my last computer. I activated it with my key that i had
on my last computer and it all seemed fine. Then it said
my key is already being used (by my old computer which i
don't use anymore), is there a way that i can take the
key off my old computer and put it to my new one?
Thanks
Andrew

Andrew, that's why MS has the Activation feature. 1 XP per computer.
