I recently made a good image of my computer, but I went to pass it over to
the other computer in my home and noticed a problem. I can't have both
computers using the same cd-key. So now I'm posting to try and get someone to
figure out how to change the Windows XP home Cd-key.

Repair installation.
Also - if the computers aren't pretty much the same - you will likely have
other issues.
 
You'll need to purchase a new Product Key
and then proceed with a "repair install".

If you already have a retail copy of Windows XP, you can obtain
additional licenses for another computer or laptop by visiting the
following Microsoft Web site:
