reinstalling Office XP for students and teachers on new hard drive

[Jukebox John]

I own Microsft Office XP standard for students and
teachers. I am replacing the main hard drive on my
computer.
My question is: can I reinstall this prrogram once I have
my new hard drive set up?
I'm concerned that I might not be able to because I tried
to install the program on a second computer I owned but
was blocked from doing so. I worry that this program can
be installed only once - period. It cannot be
reinstalled even on the same computer.

Can I install the new drive first as a slave drive, have
Windows format it, and then copy the Office XP folder to
this new drive so that when I then I make this new drive
the main drive, Office will be there?

Thanks

You should be able to successfully activate it again on the same pc (Even
with that hardware change), if it fails, choose the phone activation method
and explain the situation to the operator.
