  I need help.  I bought an OEM version of windows xp pro and i installed it on my home pc no problem.  Well a year has gone by and the hard drive i installed has fried.  When i went to install my (legal) copy of windows on my new hard drive ( same computer)  it said the product key I have has already been used on another computer(IE my old fried hard drive).  When i went to call microsoft and told them my problem they were nice and willing to help.  That is untill they realized i had a OEM version and then treated me like I had the Plague.  So if anyone out there can help me figure out how to do this i would be very very grateful.
