  • After that my PC froze, then restarting one second BIOS has been activated, now I get the Message: this copy of Windows is not genuine.

    Hello

    My PC froze because of the power failure. A to stop by pressing the power button for 8 seconds.

    After I turn on the PC, I got a message that the BIOS has been altered.   Since I have a motherboard Gigabyte with dual BIOS, he turned off the second BIOS.

    After the PC is returned to the Windows desktop, the background changed to black with the text in the right corner:

    "Windows 7"

    'Build 7601'

    "This copy of Windows is not genuine."

    I know this is true because I buy a commercial version of Windows 7 Ultimate edition of Microsoft. I guess that Windows detects the second BIOS as a different system.

    I restarted the computer, then Windows activated by itself. Under the Control Panel, he showed that he was authentic.

    For two weeks and the "activate Windows now" are back. "Requires a change in hardware or driver will allow you to activate Windows again." "Click on the message to start activation."

    The context has changed to black with the text in the right corner:

    "Windows 7"

    Original title: corrupt Windows Vista

    I have vista business and I think he got corrupted when I went overseas. Now it asks me always to activate and insert the restore disc but I've mislaid and cannot locate my restore disk. Also on the bottom, it indicates that this copy of windows is not genuine? Please help anyone on how I can restore this back to the original.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    See which way suits you.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
