I have setup dual boot of WinXP with Win98SE in my desktop, on 2 different physical harddrives. Now I want to remore the Win98SE and move WinXP to that physical drive and make the desktop as a single OS system. I have a lot of data on the system, and I want to do this without a lot of fuss. How can I do this?

With all this "MS's product activation" etc. would I be able to install it on the other Harddrive, with the same product key with out calling MicroSoft.

MS associates the key to certain system hardware resources. If you haven't already activated the license more than 2 or 3 times there shouldn't be an issue. And honestly MS doesn't really care. If they ask make something up or just explain the whole story. They'll hook you up at that point with a real fuss.
