Is there a way to find out when Windows XP Home was installed?

Just wondering as I'm getting a new HDD delivered tomorrow and planning to use the same COA. I read somewhere you can use again after 120 days.

Thanks.



For an approximation, the numeric folders in windows/system32 are a clue. In my case, they are 3 days before the date of the WPA.bak file in that folder (which is probably the last time WPA data was updated by a hardware change).
