   is there a question somewhere in that statement?   
      
   if you've purchased a legal, retail copy of XP you are licensed to   
   install that copy on a single PC.  period.  if you replace your pc you   
   can install XP on the new machine but you will have to re-activate.   
   re-activation is free and takes only a minute or two via phone.   
      
   ideally you should probably erase the HD from the machine you are   
   selling, trading, giving away or trashing before doing so.
