My hard drive (in my sig) is dying. Click of death, etc. It (HDD), my motherboard, and my processor are all from an Acer build. I replaced everything else.

My question is, am I going to have to use a new copy of Windows when I replace it? I know the OEM version won't work with a different motherboard but I'm not sure about the hard drive.

Thanks
