Question regarding Vista (and even XP) activation - If I install Vista
in a separate primary partition how does activation work if I end up
moving or resizing that partition? In other words, let's say I have a
100GB HD, and I put XP in a 50GB partition and Vista in another 50GB
partition. I activate Vista. Then, later on, I have little need of the
XP partition and I decide to either get rid of it, or resize it down
dramatically. So I end up using BootIt NG's partition manager to resize
and move the XP partition down from 50GB to 20GB. Then I resize
(expand) the Vista partition from 50GB to 80GB. Now, will doing that
'trigger' Microsoft's stupid activation, both in Vista and in XP? Or
does it not care about partition but rather real hardware?
Thanks...
