  I removed my xp hard drive to another computer and now it says that I have to 'activate' and when I try, I get a weird response and they all but hang up on me.  I used this drive for many years, even the screen shows a picture of my table with flowers in a vase.  What is going on?  How can I get this problem?

  Your hard drive, installed on a computer with Windows XP was preinstalled by the computer manufacturer? If this is the case, then you have a "OEM version" of Windows which is linked to the computer first it is installed on and cannot be moved or reinstalled on another computer.

  If however you have a "Commercial" of XP version that you bought in a store, then you should be able to activate by phone, be aware that move the drive from one computer to another is more often go to work and XP may have problems (device drivers and other issues). The best solution is a clean installation (after you back up your data files).

  my laptop is dying, I can move my hard drive to another computer and still use vista coa?

  Hello

  It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

  Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

  OEM licenses are not transferable.

  If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

  Retail licenses are transferable.

  Just be sure that you have only installed on one machine at a time.

  A single license means one Installation.

  And if it is retail and transfer you, in all likelihood will have to reinstall the operating system, as this disc hard the 'old' aura card mother drivers installed, which will cause starting problems.

• Using a HARD drive in another computer?

  The computer (where the hard drive comes from), is currently in a State of operation not.

  I want to do is start this drive on another computer to look through of essential programs, so I can mark down.
  I am aware that I can use another computer to look through the files, but I would rather start Windows Vista to look through.
  I think it is when, for example, you connect a drive of Windows 8/8.1 in a new machine - it installs new hardware and starts right up. I don't want Vista to BSOD on me.
  
  Anyone know if this is possible?
