If you still have the other harddrive then I would reccomend that you make in the Master drive and the new drive the Slave.  This way you will not need to reinstall your office programs because they will be on your primary drive.

Paste the following into a notepad text file then save it as filename.reg:\n\nWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00\n\n[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92; Microsoft&#92;Windows NT&#92;CurrentVersion]\n"RegisteredOrganization"="Your Company"\n"RegisteredOwner"="Your Name"\n\nThe icon should change to a set of white blocks. Run the file and press Yes to update your registration information.\n\n(Delete the space before 'Microsoft' in the path above - had to insert to prevent line cut-off.

I assume that you do not have the install cds?  If not, you can contact Microsoft for replacement cds, but you'll still need the CD key/serial number.  Order a replacement CD by contacting  the Microsoft Order Desk: (800) 360-7561\n\nIf you don't have the cd nor the cd key, then you're stuck buying a new copy.  You can get it cheap(er) here: http://www.softwareoutlet.com  I've order from these guys and it's all good.\n\nHope that helps.

if it's the hardDisk pasword, You're stuffed! I don't think you can install a new Hd either!\nIf its just the power on password, hold F8 while booting up and reset it in the Bios.

Open your registry and go to the key:\n\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;Explorer]\n\nIf  the DWORD "NoFolderOptions" is set to "1", change it and set it to "0" & your problem is solved. If you are not familiar with using the registry, please do not try this without notifying your computer administrator. Any mistakes could leave you stranded.\n\nFeel free to IM me for further details.

I think that you dont have a registered version of windows. If u have then format your PC and reload the OS again. This should work but.... I have never tried this thing.

double check what is written on the paper that came from Microsoft.  capital letter b's can look like the number 8, so make sure you read it carefully.  If it still doesn't work, then you need to get back to the place you purchased it.\n\nIf its not a closed package with a proper microsoft certificate and product key and you paid for it, someone gave you a stolen copy of Office.  If you downloaded it somewhere with a key, then thats illegal and you shouldn't complain.

Start > Run > type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) click ok, the Registry Editor will open up.\nNavigate you way to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows NT&#92;CurrentVersion"\nDouble click on the Value Names: "RegisteredOwner" & "RegisteredOrganization" & change the value data to whatever you want.\nReboot.

the question is not clear. \nyou had an old copy of xp - WHERE. on a CD or PC?\n\nif it was on a CD - then it has no registry.\nif it was on another PC - then startup up that PC, click start->RUN->type"regedit" and search the registry for the KEY.\nif it was on this new PC (on which you installed XP again) - then the old registry is gone, as it was re-written by the new one.\n\nyou bought a new pc and installed XP - SO WHERE WAS THE OLD XP?

If you lost it, you can call Microsoft and they can help you get it back. Otherwise, you are trying to use a pirated version.

You might have a problem with stealing a key. MS has started imposing restrictions on its software that include forcing a user to register within 30 days or have product disabled. & if the key is already in use by MS's records your gonna be out of luck.\n\nYour best bet is to download & use open office. It's free.
