transfering xp between machines...

If they are OEM licenses, then Microsoft says:
Another common misconception is that you can transfer a preinstalled or OEM copy of Windows from an "old" machine to a new machine. An OEM software license may not be transferred from and old machine to a new machineeven if that machine is no longer in use. The OEM license is tied to the machine on which it was originally installed and can't be transferred to other machines.

Only way you "Could" do this is
is take both HD's put them into another PC and use Casper XP and copy one drive to the other. You are going to make a exect copy of the OLD HD on the new one.
And make sure the new HD is Active/Primary
Use Partation Magic

That still doesn't change the fact that it breaks the EULA.-(Xyphox)- said:Only way you "Could" do this is

And that's the most common misconception. You and/or your company didn't purchase the software...you purchased a license for the software. Therefore, you are bound by what the license allows.spotdog14 said:mmmmmmmm, wtf does it matter? i (or hte company) purchased the software, douches.
