Can someone please help?

Is there a simple way to set a new activation code for XP? I have a PC here that has a corporate activation key which isnt exactly genuine. I have a brand new genuine copy of XP pro that I want to put on that PC. Is there anyway to do it short of backing everything up and reinstalling from scratch with the new disks? Please someone save me some hassle.

However, there might be benefits to doing a clean install instead.
