Call MS because I have gotten keys off them for cracked copies of XP before just by having the balls to call them and talk to a rep.

Not if it is a "rebuild"

All you have to say is you changed out the vid card and motherboard and MS will give you the key

Werd.
My gf called them after her copy of XP told her that she couldn't install it on yet another machine. She called, and they made it work.
