| 132497 | 2003-04-01 00:41:00 | Will I have problems with reactivation of XP if I decide to reformat. 6 month clean out time..... | Breezzee (2913) | ||
| 132498 | 2003-04-01 00:51:00 | None. If its the same motherboard and mostly the same components it will be fine. I have done it twice in sucession, when reloading after a disk upgrade, and the process was automatic and quick. |

| 132499 | 2003-04-01 00:56:00 | That was a quick reply.... thanks. Well I know now what I'll be doing for the next few days :) | Breezzee (2913) | ||
| 132500 | 2003-04-01 02:39:00 | After a while the online activation may fail, but a quick call over the phone to them, give them a quick run-down as you've just done with us and you'll be fine :-) May have to use the phone though, as the online activation has stopped me before.. too many in quick succesion ;-) |

Or download a free program that will do it for you. Must still have same hardware etc. |
