no i don't quite think so im getting a replacement motherboard from a failed flashing bios. the hard drive has all the old drives and such and i dont want to leave all the crap drives on their. also if i call microsoft and explain im getting a replacement motherboard theni think they can allow me to reuse the OS i've read it on some forum pages.

Is this an OEM version we're talking about?
Probably, yes, MS will authorize a reinstall for that same key. You may have to do it via the phone robot, or ultimately talk to a human.
