well legaly you would still have to buy another copy of windows :P

there are programs that allow you to make a copy of a hard drive but this will only work in a system that is exactly the same as the one you copied the hard drive from so if your wanting to do that for a new computer from an old one it wont work

Dont you have a copy of the windows cd?

Call Microsux and tell them you upgraded your Dell (something small like a new HD, DVD burner, not something big like a motherboard. They see a fine line between and upgrade and a totally new computer which with a motherboard, it doesn't get much bigger than that.) My last install worked fine, but couldn't register windows with the key I had. After explaining it was my copy that came along with my pre-built machine they gave me a new key over the phone. Install your SP2 to save downloaded update time, but use the activation key you just got.
