Re-format HDD/Re-install XP

[Pat]

I plan to reformat my hard drive, then re-install XP.
Will I have problems with Microsoft re-authenticating my
XP software (will they think I'm trying to load it on a
second system and not allow for authentication)?
Thanks,
Pat

no, you should be fine with doing that.
