After adding new hardware, validation resets?

Posted: 01-12-2008, 04:29 PM
After getting Windows Vista and successfully validating my OEM bought Vista
Home Premium, I added a second hard-drive and replaced a faulty motherboard.
Now it has apparently reseted the validation, it tells me not only that I
need to active Windows (again) but the key that I have is 'already in use'
(by me, obviously, but i dont understand?)

I called the Windows toll-free phone activation, and even after selecting
English, they put me with an Argentinian-sounding fellow which I could barely
understand and received a very helpful suggestion to 're-enter another
key'....
