The family windows vista product key premium you typed is invalid for activation.

Hey guys, I recently restored my computer toshiba laptop to factory settings and at the end of the factory restore it takes me to the screen too activate my windows vista. It gives me the option to activate windows now or wait 15 seconds and activate later. So, obviously, I click on activate now, but I get an error that says: "the windows vista home premium product key you typed is invalid for activation." So o get three options that are 1. Buy a new product online, 2 key. Type a different product key, 3. Contact toshiba to help solve this problem. I know that the product key was under my laptop, but the problem is the product key is faded and I can read is no longer the key. I also contacted toshiba to see if they keep records, but they did not. Any suggestions?

Well; Toshiba was right in saying that it was the way in which the recovery Partition and drives to work.

All we can suggest is to use Microsoft phone activation method; do not follow the instructions of the car, but brace yourself for a real person explain your problem to.
