Well from whats being said its no different to XP so a hdd failure or reformat wouldnt be a problem. On the other hand, if your motherboard died, you replaced it with a different model and tried to reinstall you might be in for more problems. Wheras with XP at the moment you just ring them up and they give you a new code, well thats how its always worked for me anyway.
