Can I install my xp professional OS on my second harddrive?
Im concerned with the xp registration key. I may be
building my own system soon and i need to get rid of this
old hardrive but i don't want to image it onto the new
hardrive.
 
If you change hard disks, you can easily re-activate. The Activation
system is smart enough to figure out that, unless you change too many
components, it is basically the same system.
Given that a Setup and installation of applications takes the better part
of a whole weekend, I'd just wait until you are ready to build the new
system, or bring your plans forward a bit. Try not to do this more than once
if you really don't have to.
