• I reinstalled Windows 7, but the product key is not accepted. Message says that the product key is upgraded only, not for the new installation. What should I do now?

  I have re installed windows7 and product activation key is not accepted. Message says key is valid only for the upgrade. What should I do now?

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Click next to complete the activation.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  That's what indicates the screen.

  It does not start on a Vista or 7 disc... BIOS errors.

  I need a copy of XP TSE start I think?

  Hi Garrett.

  This message type indicates an attempt to start the operating system from a network device.

  Check the order of boot sequence in the BIOS. Make your hard drive as the priority.

  Important: changing the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  If the condition above is not true then you may be able to get the disc from the manufacturer to perform any additional troubleshooting steps.

  In addition, you can consult the section below, which provides information on troubleshooting steps to perform when you encounter this error: http://support.gateway.com/s/Checklists/BPC/ck20070907117.shtml#MBR

  I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer.
