activating my windows vista after moving hard drive to new compute

I moved my hard drive from one computer to another now my windows will not
activate because of the product number was registered on my old laptop. I
did not think I would have a problem because I simply removed my hard drive
and placed it in this computer so I am not trying to install it again.

My windows will not activate because of this. What can I do?

There should be an option to activate by phone. You can call Microsoft on
that number and they can activate it for you with no problems.
