Oh well, I guess the 160 GB drive is off the table now. I was told on one of the computer forums that the liscense dies when the computer dies. I purchased this, and one day I will find a way to activate the Windows. I paid for it, if at all possible I am going to find a way to use it.
I have a feeling that some of the guys on the three computer forums that I asked this question on knew what to do but was afraid of getting into trouble. Either thinking I was trying to steal something from Microsoft, or that I might be someone trying to get someone to do something illegal. But, as I said, I paid for this drive, and paid dearly for the computer that it came in.
Maybe I can find someone around me that knows me that knows how to activate this drive.
The story isn't over yet, maybe someday, but not yet.
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.
