How to migrate Windows XP?
Murgi
new computer and hope to receive an advice as soon as possible so that I
can proceed. Microsoft (here in Japan) is closed on weekends; calling
them doesn't help.
The old machine contains the registered version of Windows. I would like
to install this Windows version on a new machine which I have just built
myself.
I need to know about how to do that since Microsoft needs to re-register
the software for the new computer. Any hint is highly appreciated since
I hope to achieve this task as soon as possible. Now I know, it was
stupid that I failed to prepare myself for this task beforehand…
With kind regards,
Murgi

It sounds like you just stuck the HDD as a second, slave drive.
That's a completely different process than trying to take a HDD
out of one computer and use it to boot up and run a completely
different computer.

Uhhh, not really. I've done this, and it takes a couple of hours
to re-install all the drivers. And that's with the Pro version
and a bulk license. I seem to recall that the Home version and
single-user license versions compare their installed environment
to their current environment, and demand that you confirm your
license with MicroSoft.

You should check the status of your XP license on your old machine.
If that copy of XP came with the PC it is most likely an 'OEM' copy tied to
that particular machine.
In that case you will find the license terms mean the license dies when the
machine dies and your are specifically 'not' allowed to transfer it to
another PC.
A full retail copy of XP on the other hand 'does' allow you to transfer to
another machine, but you are bound to delete it from the old machine when
you do.
Having said that, if the XP CD you have is a standard Microsoft one then
there is nothing physically to stop you installing it on another PC.
Athough this may be against the terms of an OEM license the only practical
requirement is to 'reactivate' it after installation.
If you haven't reactivated XP on your old PC for quite a while an online
activation on the new PC will probably proceed with out problems.
At the end of the day it is your consience if it is an OEM copy.
As for the other posters suggestions to just stick the old hard drive in
your new PC.
It can be done, as a motherboard swap I did last week demonstrated. (same
affect as putting the HD in a new PC)
But, and this is a big but, the new motherboard in this case was a very near
brother of the original, same maker, chipset, CPU just one small difference
in the chipset model.
However as you seem to be going from a quite different PC there are likely
to be all sorts of problems, hung bootups, glitches with driver installs,
confilicting device settings etc.
In the end you may have to do a repair install, drivers reactivation and all
to get it working, so why not start with a fresh install without any of the
old install's crap carried over.
So my advice is don't!
Just about any tech worth his salt will give you the same advice.
Best
Paul.

I maybe missing something, but that is complete nonsense!
Are you really suggesting the solution to the OP's question
Is for the new PC he built, is to transfer the HDD with XP installed
from the old PC and install that HDD on the new PC, and to expect
it to be a workable solution?
If I have misunderstood, and that is not what you meant, please
explain what you actually did mean?

According to Micro$uck, the licence wouldn't transfer.
You're *supposed* to call them up and ask for a new key.
Which is why closed source software sucks :)

Except that if you're taking the disk between vendors the 1.7 second
activation process will not work. You pay Dell for a copy of WinXP,
move the disk to an HP system, and you immediately have a paperweight.

I take it that you've never actually moved a disk with an OEM version
of windows installed...

Micro$oft considers that theft.
Read the EULA sometime, sparky.
Did you *pay* for a new licence?

Whoops, scratch that. Turns out the disk I used wasn't OEM after all;
maybe that's why it wasn't "locked" to a particular machine and
activated succesfully.
I went digging through all the old laptop junk, looking for the EULA
because I wanted to see what the exact wording was. I couldn't find the
book with the EULA on it, but I found two disks -- the OEM one that came
with the laptop, and another one that I apparently bought separately
(for reasons that escape me at the moment). I was thinking the one I
used on the Sun was OEM, because I had it with the laptop stuff, but it
isn't.

He owes you an apology for responding to the information you provided?!?
I believe that all OEM versions of Windows are machine-locked and the
XP/Home EULA is similar to other EULAs. How about an apology for
misleading us on what you did and what is possible using OEM versions
of Windows?

You cant argue with sociopaths, fyi.
M$ has different licencing strategies but theres no such thing as a
OEM that you can just use on another computer without *renewing*
your cert.
Maybe he used a blacklisted key he got from a warez site :)
SP2 broke a lot of those keys though...

And you're now assuming that network news feeds move uniformly at
real-time speeds. Not a good assumption. The fact that you changed
your story doesn't automatically translate to we heard the change.

You might read what I wrote. News articles do not propagate though
systems *UNIFORMLY* in time. One article you post may be on my
server in 10 minutes and the one you post two hours later may take
hours to arrive. And the article that took ten minutes to get
to me may take hours to get to somebody else.

You're right, it sure is a PITA. Not because of the time involved, but
because of the whole idea of the thing. Just suppose you have a computer
that runs XP just fine, but won't run Vista. Now suppose you fall on
hard times and can't afford to upgrade, but still need to use your
computer to bring yourself out of those hard times - or suppose you give
this computer to your kids, or your 80-year-old grandmother who only
wants to email her progeny. Whatever the reason, you legitimately want
to continue to use this computer. Now, suppose it's far enough into the
future that Microsoft decides it's time to drop all support for XP, the
way they recently did for all versions of Windows prior to 2000. What
makes you think they will continue to allow you to use XP then? They'll
pull your plug the same way they let you put it in in the first place.
In other words, THEY decide when you stop using XP, you don't. You have
no control over your own hardware if you use Windows. And you DON'T call
that a PITA?
BTW, should the situation described above ever show up in your life, I
recommend you wipe Windows off your hard drive and install Linux. You'll
be amazed at the increase in performance.

You apparently hold the belief that manufacturers are responsible for
supporting any product they build until every last unit ceases to exist.
Check with your local Ford dealer and see if they're still supporting the
Model T. After all, a car is a car, they all basically run the
same/use the same type of equipment, so why shouldn't parts made now be
back-compatible with an earlier version of the exact same product?
Good luck with that.

Missed putting in the comma. It's a special category of retard though,
somebody that uses a $3k computer as a boat anchor. You don't like it,
fine, take it back to the store, but using it as a boat anchor is, well,
retarded.

Don't mind Leslie, he's just bitter and upset because he can't
actually afford a computer of his own. He has to go down town and
stink up his local library for online access (unfortunately for the
other patrons Leslie hasn't discovered the finer points of using
deodorant and what us civilized folk call "bathing"). *nods*

So really, you are admitting to being a retard having bought one for $3K
and then using it as a boat anchor. You're a double retard.

Thus the lowered standards for the army and the loosened state of
our immigration policies...
Rev Turd Fredericks
The mentally slow make excellent cannon fodder. But trust me on this,
our *immigration* policies are not loose, it's our *illegal immigration*
policies that are loose. It has become so difficult to legally immigrate
to this country that for some, illegally immigrating is the path of
least resistance. It cost my wife and I $12K in lawyers fees and took
30 months to legally immigrate and we are the "cream of the crop"
(national interest waivers). You just don't hear about stuff like that
on the news.
