Reformated
There maybe a way to install Windows XP on a different computer without activation though. I somehow managed to do it on one of my computer. I borrowed a Windows XP CD from a friend a couple of years ago and I tried to install it on one of my computers. Without knowing that I'd have to go through activation, I installed it and wanted to reformat the hard drive. I went over to my friend's house (the one I borrowed the cd from) and connected my hard drive to his computer and reformated. I went back home and tried installing XP again and found that I didn't need to activate it. If someone's willing to give it a try, tell me if it works.
(that's one way to do it)

well... there's like a crack called awp or something like that, it makes the windows bypass security check by fooling it that it's running on safe mode, which is what happens after the activation trial period is over. The thing is that a month ago SP2 for x64 XP was released, and I think they fixed that bug, because "my friend" has the activation notification message appearing again after the SP2 was installed. So, now "my friend" doesn't know what will happen after the period is over... mmm
