reinstalled on wrong system

i reinstalled windows on both my systems , one xp pro x64 and one vista . on
the vista install i had to reactivate it via phoning microsoft , i then found
i had installed vista on the wrong system (it was late , i was tired) . will
i have to buy vista again ? , once i found what i had done i corrected the
error on my xp machine and i wiped vista off of the xp machine . now when i
install vista on the correct system it says that it is installed on another
system , will i need to phone support or buy vista again ( vista will not run
on my older system)

i made a mistake in the above post , it is not the 64bit version but 32bit

Just use the telephone option, you don't need to buy Vista again.
