I bought a OEM version of Win XP Home w/SP1 off of ebay. I received a piece
of hardware as per ebay/Microsoft regulations for the transaction. I am
building a new pc with a new cpu, motherboard, and ram, using My old HDD,
both dvd and dvd/rw drives. Can someone tell me where I stand on
re-activation? As I remember, I received a cdrom cable as my hardware with
this purchase. I had to re-format and install XP Home at the end of Jan/05
due to a problem and activation went thru no problem. I have this feeling I
am screwed and have to buy another copy of XP. Is there not anything that can
be done to not have to do this. I went thru the automated help to get my 2
free requests for help but looks like they want me to pay for that also.
thanks for your time
