I'm really curious, since I used to do this in the past. Let's say I build a new computer and harvest all of the drives out of my old computer; hence, my old computer is not useable and I do not intend to use it ever again.
Now I know you would have to reinstall it, and I would assume that the Windows XP Activation would probably flag it and not approve activation automatically (correct?). But if you call Microsoft to activate it manually, do they cooperate or do they presume you're lying and force you to buy a whole new copy of Windows XP?
