Your windows xp computer died Can you register a new computer using the old hard drive?
If the question means: My Windows XP computer died. Can I use it's license on a new computer with the old hard drive? The answer should be: It depends. It depends on your license type. If it is a common license for 1 computer only, that license is now hard-linked to your old computer hardware. The WPA (Windows Product Activation) makes a list of your computer hardware and if it notes a major change (like CPU or mainboard replacement) it will require a new license.So, if that's the case, you won't be able to activate that Windows license in your new computer. However, you can try intalling that Windows on your new PC and contact Microsoft Windows Activation by phone, and explain to them your old computer broke and that you would like to install your old Windows license in the computer you just bought, and they probably will help you out.

If you formatted your hard drive between the OS installs of 98, 2000 and XP, it would be difficult to retrieve files and programs from previous installs. There are tools to retrieve deleted information, but if the deleted information was already re-written, which is likely the case when installing new operating systems (depending on the hard drive size), it would be impossible to get those old files back.

If you are talking about putting windows on your computer again you will need to backup your old documents (CD/DVD/External hard drive).
