A few months back, I bought a Vista Ultimate and I installed it on my hardrive [that] after a few weeks my hardrive was crashed for some reason, and I managed to get a new hardrive. so when I installed my vista Ultimate edition on my new hardrive a message pops up saying that the copy of Windows Vista is not genuine. I also have the product key.

  So please if someone could help me.

  The product key is correct, because I used the tht on my old hardrive, but the same product key does not work for the new hardrive

  I hope that you understand the problem...

  Here are the diagnostic report

  I suggest that you contact your provider and ask for a refund - do not accept a replacement, he can go almost certainly in the same way as this one.

• Windows 7 Build 7601, the copy of windows is not genuine. It has been true for about 3 years already.

  Hello. A week ago, my phone displays a message saying that my Windows is not genuine. I bought the brand new laptop and I installed win7, it was all working fine so far. At first, I thought it was just a bug, so I tried to update, but the updates do not install. I saw in some discussion above to check under my laptop for a joint, but it disappeared and I can't read the number to legitimize my copy of Windows. It also displays a message in the lower right corner indicating "Windows 7 Build 7601, the copy of Windows is not genuine." This question annoys me because it slows down my laptop already slow, and I can't work normally like this. Help, please.

  EDIT: I'm not sure how to find the Diagnostic report that is often required to determine the problem, so no instructions would be useful.
  EDIT 2: I forgot to mention that I've scanned with 3 different anti-virus, I think they have removed all the malicious files, I had, which was maybe 2 files of average risk. Scanned with Norton, ESET and Kaspersky.

• Need help in activating the copy of Windows XP

  Original title: legal Options

  I have found several years after having my computer up to date, that my software for Office 2003 and Windows XP are not legal.  My Windows Media Player does not work either.  I have the disk for Windows 98, which would have been my last legal version.

  I am a senior on a fixed income (not you you tired of hearing that?) "I'm tired of BEING that!) and cannot afford the newest, the latest versions of Microsoft products.  I just want to be legal and get sound from my computer!

  Do I have any options?

  Daaveee - it's a Dell Optilex GX260 (excerpt from the report MGADiag.)

  MOM marine & Pop

  Your current product key is one that was never issued by Microsoft - it was instead generated by KeyGen tool a hacker. The installation is a counterfeit.

  You have three options-

  1) return to Windows 2000 (not recommended, as was support for some time)

  (2) see if you can find a copy of Windows XP Pro and making your system genuine

  (3) analyze your system for upgrading to Windows 7 qualities

• What to do if the copy of Windows is genuine when MS wrote that is not

  I received the message "this copy of Windows is not genuine".  Windows 64 bit Vista came installed on my laptop when I bought it almost 2 years ago.  Why I get this message now?  MY COPY IS AUTHENTIC.  What am I supposed to do?  I'm not a geek & dirty with records or something like that.  I find it very upsetting that MS did something like this & there is no where & no, you can call to get them to do it right.  I don't have to understand something like that by myself.  If Microsoft will do checks like that, they should do things or provide a toll-free number for when they go wrong.

  Hello

  I would say allowing you to run the Microsoft Genuine Diagnostics tool then copy and paste the results into an answer here for further analysis:

  http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=52012

  Also I suggest you to check your product key and report to Microsoft about the issue.

  Greetings,

  don't you think that I didn't try to go to this page and do what they say? Please read the comments above...

  You obviously did not read far enough.
  Your Windows has a MSDN license - you subscribe MSDN? -If so, phone Concierge and ask what the problem is with your account. If you have NOT subscribed to MSDN, then the person who sold you the Windows key has done illegally.
  Therefore, you will need to get legal by buying a legal copy of Windows 7.

• I forgot the password of windows on my old laptop, how I overcame this problem

  I have an older laptop Acer with windows Vista, which went under XP. The PC has not been used for awhile and I'm giving away there but must take all the info from him.
  Unfortunately I forgot the password of windows and can not enter, how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance

  Hello.

  Sorry, but Microsoft prohibited information provided in these Forums for anyone who has problems with a lost or forgotten password.

  I suggest that you reinstall the operating system.

  If you don't have a recovery disk, contact Acer support and they may be able to provide a disk.

  Also check to see if when you upgraded from XP to vista, if you wiped the 'hidden' Acer recovery Partition to back to how it was when new.

  Do you it by pressing Alt + F10 at startup and follow the instructions to reinstall XP

  See you soon.

• transfer the copy of windows xp on a new hard drive

  My 6th sense tells me that my hard drive is about to fail.  I want to clone this HARD and then replace it with the new clone HARD drive.  Copying valid OEM xp (xp Home Edition, SP3) on my current HARD drive, failing will transfer without problems for the new HARD drive so that when I replaced the current HARD drive with the new and turn on the computer, it starts straight upward as usual?  Thank you.

  At the start of my hard drive makes strange noises, I used the program Norton Ghost 2003 disk cloning my XP Pro, SP3 hard disk. I used the switch of ib (boot image) when I did and when I started the cloned disk was not disabled. Windows found new hardware (the player) and after a little while that I should restart. I clicked the button to do it and everything was fine, then.

  Note: I bought the retail version of the Ghost of Norton program. It is not a free software.

  I checked the Windows recovery program, and here, there is no evidence that a single installation, but when I check... My computer - properties - Advanced - Boot notebook... There is an indication of two partitions each containing Windows XP.

  I really want to cancel the second installation but can't see how. I tried the system restore, but there is no restore point before the installation of the second.

  Either way, with the second installation, I lost the drivers for network cards and a few other drivers.

• How do I know if the copy of Windows 7 Ultimate is legitimate

  I had a Windows Ultimate Black sealed box, certificate of authenticity outside the box wrote: BTS-2715006-MSIN ATU WIN 7 ROM ENGLISH DVD, then the bottom says: MADE IN USA, then SKU-GLC-00181

  and of course some other figures for the bar code and this asl silver bracelet looks good, true, do not have to open it again, but I've heard of MS has never made any Win 7 in the United States, which means that if it says MADE IN USA, it will be illegal, copy this exact?

  Thank you

  If it says 'Made in USA', it is not authentic.

  Request a refund from the seller. Always buy Microsoft software in a reputable store.

• Are there problems with the copy a backup of one old drive to another?

  After buying a hard drive TB Seagate external 3 to make backups, I conclude that, because of differences in sector I can not create a backup image to the new drive.  I did an image backup on my Toshiba 1.5 TB and then copied the file to the new 3 TB drive.  While it is a pain, for the moment, I don't see anything around him.  Are there problems with it?

  Another question: If there is a question, is there a way to write the image of the file on the drive that works and then all backups incremental file at CT 3?

  Hello

  Because you can't save the picture of the system directly on your 3 TB hard drive, you can save on your 1.5 TB hard drive, and then copy it to 3 TB external hard drive.

  If you want to restore, you can restore directly from your hard drive 3 TB.

• One of my computers is dead and I want to move it to a working computer, but the copy of Windows would still be valid or it is valid on the original machine?

  I have two laptops, one which an XP license, and the other has a license of Vista.  The HARD drive in the XP laptop died.  I would like to take the laptop Vista HARD drive, put in the XP laptop, install XP on it (using the CD that came with the laptop XP) and use the HARD drive in computers (starting with Vista so I use the Vista laptop and boot with XP so I use the XP laptop).  The licenses allow me to do it, or do I have to use only the Vista laptop HARD drive in the laptop with the Vista license as long as Vista is installed on the HARD drive?
