A single Hard drive change should not trigger a reactivation. Just to be safe copy the wpa.dbl file in your C drive (use search)to a floppy and replace after the install.
Hello all,
I want to buy a new larger hard drive for my pc.
I want to know if I use norton ghost to transfer all of windows xp over to the new drive, will I have to reactivate windows xp?
I have made major changes before on my windows xp box before and have had to reativate it.
I don't want to sit on the phone with microsoft again.
Thanks,
Shawnt
