Technically it would be a re-install so the second install would need activating initially.

Worst case scenario is a call to the automated activation system if it didnt activate online ok. I've never had any problems when I've needed to call up.

Just get a corporate pre-activated XP ISO from *somewhere*. This allows you to simply install it once and copy all the files onto other partitions. Just modify your own boot.ini.

Microsoft screwed you since the day Commodore tanked in 1994, so why should we ever give them extra money back because of draconian licensing and activation policies afforded by their illegal monopolistic activities to the current day.


Who said anything about buying it again? Whats this got to with Commodore tanking? Are you feeling ok?

You'll be fine, you've got your legit key so you dont need to worry about WGA.

hah, did all the anti-piracy crusaders that come out, when someone dares talk about downloading a copy of "Defender of the Crown" take the day off?


Anti-piracy crusaders? I must have blinked and missed them. Which posts where those? Or is that the point?
