This essentially happened to me when my motherboard burned up one day.
I installed a new motherboard, and Windows refused to boot, insinuating
that it was a bootleg copy installed on another machine.
In other words Windows will give you problems. Microsoft supposedly
has a way to recover if you're a legitimate customer, but I found it
easier to re-install Windows.
Fortunately I partition my hard drive (which I highly recommend, and
which you will probably figure out would have been a good idea),
and I *never* keep any of my own work, projects, or data on the
C: partition. All that's on the C partition are the OS and my
applications, which I can easily re-install if I reformat the C
partition.

Wouldn't run at all.
