| | Re: problems with vista activation Hello, yes, activate it again over phone, it will work perfectly and it's easy. That's normal, on every major hardware change, you'll have to reactivate.

The Product Key *is* already in use. It's in use by you, because of your initial Activation on the first hard drive. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to activate by telephone.
