winxp and back up -do you need to re register?

[LegionX]

i have winxp pro and am thinking of buying either ghost or driveimage 2002 or something else if you can recommend a better product. anyways i am trying to find out if i save everything on a back up will i have to re-register xp after i actually do reinstall the back up? not having to call microsoft each time i do a fresh install is worth the cost of ghost or whatever but would like to know before hand.

thanks in advance for any help 🙂

If you make the image of the drive AFTER you have registered/activated it, then you won't need to re-register/activate it

Drive Image is nice, i've used that before.

It allows you to burn directly to CD from the program, so you don't need another partition/drive to copy the image to before you can burn it!

Of course you can also copy it to another drive/partition as well if you want 🙂

You're never forced to register XP, you're force to activate it, there's a big difference.
