Well, I have an interesting problem I've never came across
before. The issue is this. I had a 20 gig hdd that I had
installed XP Pro on, today, I got a new 60 gig hdd. I
ghosted my existing disk over to the 60 gig and booted up
with the 60. After I try to login, it gives me this error

"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking
the license for this computer Errorcode 0x80090006"

This error is an activation error of some type.

Any ideas on this at all? TIA!

Run a Repair Install from the CD on the new bootable HDD. This should
resolve your problem. You will likely need to reactivate, but you should be
able to do that via the Internet or by a phone call to a toll-free number
that will show up on your screen (if needed).
