Receiving 0x8004fe21 error after replacing hard drive RRS feed

  • Question

  • My hard drive failed, so I installed a new hard drive and restored Windows from backup (the backup was created using the Windows backup utility, on an external hard drive). Now, I get a pop-up window that says "This computer is not running genuine Windows" and the error code listed in the bottom of the pop-up window is 0x8004fe21. When I run slui.exe, it says "Activation was successful", but a couple hours later, the "not running genuine Windows" pops up again.

    This computer came with Windows 7 pre-installed, and I have never done anything to change that. I get the regular updates from Microsoft, but the closest I've ever come to upgrading it was to download (from Microsoft!) the tool that checked my system and said it's not capable of supporting Windows 8.

  • Please download and install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, restart your PC, then run another MGA report and post it in this thread. Thank you!

  • Thanks for your help. I wish I'd come here first, rather than trust the chat line (where the operator told me my installation was a pirated copy of Windows, AFTER I had told him that it had been installed at the factory, and never asked me for any diagnostic information).

    Your answer solved the problem in the time it took to download and install the driver. I really appreciate your help.

  • There is STILL a major problem - which will bite sooner or later.

    Licensing Data-->
    Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

    This is a rare error - although akin to a fairly common one.

    Please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands...

    REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Handler\vbscript /S
    REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\PROTOCOLS\Handler\vbscript /S
    REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBScript /S
    REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\PROTOCOLS\Handler\vbscript /S

    Post the results in your reply.

      Here are some instructions to make life easier :)

    1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt. 

    2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once. 

    3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.
