I am using WinXP Pro. Just called MS for a new Installation ID. The call was made after a reformat and trying to installing OS on the same machine with same HD conguration for the 2nd time. According to MS, every time when reformatting hard disk, one has to call them for a new Installation ID.
I am planning on Ghosting my hard disk right now. I am very concerned with if I still will be asked to Activate the OS and have to call MS for the ID after restore the Ghost imgae files. Or I will not bothered by the Installation ID any longer, as long as I restore from the Ghost files without using the original OS CD to install XP?
Any ideas and/or advices?
Thank you.
