Answer 1

Depends on the game. The safest way to check is email customer support of the game (so you have a get out of jail free card). The rule of thumb though is that most mmorpgs are registered with a serial number or product code to an email address/log-in. Hope this helps.
So:
(remb email customer service and ask them first)
1.) Yes you will need to reinstall it not because its in the memory but rather it was saved to your HDD *hard drive and to your registry... and when you change HDD's you lose your HDD/registry.
2.) Yes your code will work during the install because the serial number checks against the protection on the CD itself (star-force etc..).
3.) Yes the game will work IF you have the proper log-in. The code on the computer will check against your serial number on the mmorpg's database.
4.) If all else fails.... email customer support. And they can send you a new serial number (you did email them b4 right?!?).


Hope this helps.

Answer 2

If the code you put in was AFTER you installed and started playing the game, then yes you will have to reinstall it.

Answer 3

no because the memory saves on the computer

Answer 4

ITS POSSIBLE THAT IT WILL WORK BUT YOU GONNA HAVE TO HAVE THE OPERARTING PROGRAM IT REQUIRES LIKE WINDOWS XP OR WHAT EVER THE DISK SAYS IT NEEDS .
