Volume License version.

In that case it isn't because it was tied to a particular manufacturer's
BIOS, it's because you changed motherboards so that it's no longer the same
system it was installed on.

So how do I get around that apart from doing the activation. I just
dont trust those guys at Redmund with registrations.

I am using the same HD as before. Under the previous setup it was
running very efficiently. Now the HD isgetting thrashed constantly.
Most of the heavy apps. are kept waiting for HD to catch up.

I have not changed anything except activate windows under the new
motherboard and installed another IDE drive (slave on same channel).

activated ' after ' re-installing windows or is this another HD installed
with windows loaded, with previous drivers and software from an old MB? This
SOMETIMES works but not recommended.
Things that come to mind:
DMA is turned off in bios
hard drive cable bad
hard drive not jumpered properly
virtual memory not configured properly
