After the installation of new hardware and reinstall Windows Vista tells me that my product key is not valid.

original title: Windows activation problem.

I have windows vista 64-bit. I installed 2 or 3 years ago and wanted to reformat because I bought a few new parts. So I reformatted and reinstalled windows, but it's now, it tells me that my key is invalid for activation. Is my drive that I bought and it worked before, why now it does not work after reformatting?
