It sounds like the root problem is that XP fired up the re-enter the activation key logic. Just doing what you say above should not have fired this event. A more likely scenario is that major components have been changed, I'm guessing the motherboard/cpu. If that's the case, you basically now have another PC.We decided to mount the phone system on the wall in a rack. The installer took all the innards out of the Wintel tower case and reinstalled into a rack mount. The MS license key code sticker is on the tower case. The installer spent 1/2 hour on the phone with MS trying to get a new license key code for Win XP.
If this were me, I'd go through the activation via phone routine using the original key and move the sticker to the new box.
