Hi,

        I was trying to install a copy of Windows XP that I downloaded in 
'06 onto my friend's mom's laptop computer, but it wouldn't take.  I bought her 
a 
new hard drive (Seagate, 80GB) so that she could have more space.  However, 
when I 
try to install the OS, I get an error message.  I can't remember it exactly, 
but it was 
something about an NT dll error within a subdirectory of the System folder.

        The OS copy that I have installs just fine on this computer, but it's 
on a 
hard drive from back in '06.  So, have hard drive manufacturers put something 
on their 
hard drives now that prevent pirated Windows installations?  Or, is it that I 
just have 
an outdated copy of Windows?  I wanted to know 1) so that I don't sound too 
much like a fool 
when I have to explain this and 2) for increasing my knowledge.  Thank you.
