RE: Transfering XP License to a new computer

 

It's actually a lot more simple than people realize. Simply roll back your

IDE drivers back to window's default generic driver(do this in safe mode) and

when the computer shuts down to reboot, just turn it off, transfer the HDD to

the new computer as the master and turn it on. You'll have to update/install

the drivers for the new computer but XP shouldn't give you any trouble. I've

successfully changed motherboards several times with the same hard drive this

way.
