robAP Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 i remember a response to a thread a while back that dealt with this specific question. and i cant find it. but I'm wondering, can i just take the registration file from my main PC and just paste it into the newer PC OS install i just built? reason is...my raid-0 set is my OS and controlled by Sil software. (i didnt know the disadvantage when i did it...i swear!) So i built this box to move all the good parts together, and the OS on my raid set i have now was non-transferable....couldnt get it to recognize the array. so i instaleld XP onto a new HD till i get things bakced up enough to take that raid set down, format it and put that in the new/better rig. so can i do that or am i just better off calling M$ and getting transferred to india to get the new reg. #'s? (i swear thats where i was talking to last time i installed XP) [EDIT:] nope i cant. searching google says to take 2 files form system32 and copy them over in safemode to the new directory renaming hte old ones too......lots opf people say this....and it dosent work. so i called. talked to a nice sounding girl in india and ogt my #'s.

bigred Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 it's illegal to do, so don't think anyone here is going to explain it. besides you'll just have to deal with MS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
