I plan on installing Vista 32 this weekend on a separate HDD from my XP HDD. Is it going to be possible to reinsatll the games I already have on my XP drive to my Vista drive, or wil it give me a CD key used error. I would like to test my games on the 2 OS, but would not like to purchase a new copy just for that. Thanks.

generally Unless try to use the same CD key on 2 computers at once, there shouldn't be a problem (except Bioshock which only allows 2 installs at once)
