Posted February 9, 200519 yr Hello, I put in a new MB and a SATA hard drive. I installed my old hard drive as drive E. Unfortunately, my windows Xp is on the old hard drive and is registered. How can I use the same windows Xp on my new SATA drive without paying Bill Gates all over again? Thanks in advance Regards, JIM
