I have purchased the oem xp seperately. So i should remove the window xp from my old computer first then try to install it to new computer and if it still doesnt work then i should contact microsoft and ask them to unlock it or something?

Well you dont have to remove it, just dont use the copy on the harddrive on another computer at the same time. If you use the drive out of the old computer in the new just format it and do a clean install, if it doesnt Validate it will give you a number to call and they will ask what happen-da-da-da, tell them the motherboard craped out and you had to rebuild they will probable give you a new number you type it in and its validated
