Message: <blockquote data-quote="trancejeremy" data-source="post: 2687085" data-attributes="member: 924">A couple months ago I finally upgraded to Win XP, mostly because Win 98 no longer supported various bits of computer hardware (most notably a hard drive and my new video card).My computer has 2 hard drives.  Is it okay for me to install Win XP on both hard drives?  I wasn't sure, so while I installed Win XP on my second hard drive, I never got around to activating it on my 2nd hard drive. (I also hadn't installed modem drivers).But now I had an emergency of sorts, and had to boot to my 2nd hard drive. However, since I hadn't activated Windows, I can't do anything.  And I can't activate it via internet presumably because I have no internet connection hooked up for it yet.Is there any way to activate windows on that hard drive, other than calling them?  Like maybe finding the activation number for my computer's main hard drive (which presumably has the same hardware key since it's the same computer) and entering it manually?I am somewhat hard of hearing and have trouble understanding people unless I can read their lips, which is tricky to do over a phone.  While that's an option, it's an unpleasant experience because it involves me asking the other person to repeat themselves quite a few times.Or get like a 10 minute reprieve to setup an internet connection? Can I just install Win XP  again?</blockquote>
