WindowsXP activation key invalid

I recently changed out the hard drive on my iMac, with a 2TB.  With the old drive I had installed Parallels to be able to use WindowsXP.  When I tried using WindowXP, on the new hard drive, Microsoft now is asking me for the activation key, which I've entered a dozen times, but it keep getting a message from them that the key, "seems to be invalid."  Why is this happening and how can I get around this technicality? I'm NOT going to purchase another activation key from Microsoft!  Thanks for any help you can give me. I hope I have posted this in the right forum.  If I haven't, perhaps you can move my question elsewhere, but please let me know where to, so that I can find it.  Thanx again! -Ella
