The resons your copy of XP deactivated itself Tala was because you used your HD to boot up the other machine and it saw a vastly different config, so assumed you installed it on two seperate machines with the same key.
This hardware checking caused a big uproar when XP was released. Basically it means if you upgrade your system, you are in danger of getting your key invalidated.
There are ways to disable this *cough*. I don't condone the use of pirated software at any time but M$ certainly push a lot of people to use it with crap like this.
