ya u can but u have to lie ;)
if u re-install your copy then before activate you will get a installition ID with 54 Numeric No then just call Microsoft Support Section & tell them that when u reinstalled your Vista copy then u got Error like this "Product ID is allready Used then make"
& now its showing a Installed ID ..
then u will get a net Product id from them :D
best of luck

Yes. Even if you replace your hard drive, you might have to call microsoft tech support if it doesn't accept the license number. They will give you a new one to enter and that should take care of it.

Not a problem.
All information about your operating system are stored on your hard drive as long as you not play with,you reconfigure system your way.
