sorry dude what your asking is illegal and toms cant condone of give advice on illegal activities.
microsoft keys are in general 1 machine only usage. so if your not installing onto the original machine then the key cant be legally used on another build.

Well I don't know about it being illegal but if you really wanted to you could deactivate your product key off of your old computer then, wherever the new hard drive is going try and use that key. It may not allow you to use that key even if you do this though.

it is illegal. the key is legally registered to your motherboard when you accept the eula
so as soon as windows detects that the hash table thats created when you first install it has changed the key becomes invalid.
when you accept the eula you accept legal responsibilities to use the software, so if you misuse it your acting illegally.
its all in the words mate. the words mean what they mean. no interpretation... (although many lawyers say meaning is open to interpretation legal speak is not.) its a very basic language where every word has its place.

Dude, contact your manufacturer and ask for recovery disks. they are cheap. and "legal". It is the only recommended way to reinstall to a new HDD to a OEM computer.
