I need to change my hard drive. I plan to install the new one, copy
everything from the current one and remove the current drive then.
Will I have any problems with Windows XP Home that I currently use?

Is it an OEM version of XP or a retail version.

If a retail version, it might not activate, but call the 800 number they
give you and say what you did. They will give you the activation code.

If an OEM, then if it doesn't activate you have to call the OEM and see what
you can do. They tie XP to the machine type and I'm not sure what will
happen.

If the current XP drive is cool, consider a Drive Copy. Most Hard drive
Makers have a free version and with any luck it won't trigger activation.
