    Hi all.  Apologies as it seems this question has been asked a few times before.  I bought my laptop with Windows 7 pre-loaded onto it.  Now, 18mths down the line I am getting a message to say the version of Windows 7 I am running is not genuine.  I have tried revalidating by putting in the product key found in the battery case, but the sticker says the Windows 7 version is Home Premium, whereas the laptop reckons it is running Windows 7 Ultimate, so it won't accept the product key.  I was going to just re-install everything using the recovery disks provided by the retailer, but I'm hoping this won't be necessary.  Many thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

    That sounds right - just make sure that you pick the right language, or you could end up working in Chinese!

    To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

    Once downloaded, run the tool.

    Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.

    Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post. (please do not edit the report.)

    Please state the version and edition of windows from your COA. do not state the product key from the COA.

    I have downloaded and run (and copied) the diagnostic tool, but when I try to post it here I get the following message:

    "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account"

    Sorry, not great on computers...how can I get my account verified?

    your install is using the blacklisted Lenovo OEM SLP key. this key was blacklisted before win 7 was released and has never been sold. Your install was done using a hackers loader program as evidenced by the HP slic table on a Dell computer.

    you will have to purchase and install genuine windows or revert to the windows your computer came with.

    Account verification is automatic after 10 days - you can work around the restriction by posting the text of a reply, and then editing it to insert the affected areas if necessary. This is a new restriction brought about by anti-spam measures, and MS is still working the bugs out.

    Your installation of Windows is counterfeit.

    The Key in use is the infamous Lenovo Stolen Key - which was never legally installed on a machine.

    the machine is a Dell - but the SLIC table shows as being a Hewlett Packard. This means that a hacker's Activation Exploit has been used in an attempt to circumvent activation and validation requirements.

    For which version and edition of Windows is teh machine licensed, according to the COA sticker on the case?ou should reformat and reinstall using that edition, either from the manufacturer's Recovery media, or using legitimate retail media.

    Thanks George1009.  I bought the computer in the UK and sent it as a gift to my fiancee in India.  It now transpires that they had problems setting up an internet connection and took it to a local 'expert' who wiped everything and re-installed using what must've been counterfeit software.  I have the original recovery disks so will use them.  Never done that before though, so would appreciate it if you could give me a few tips.

    The Recovery disks will wipe everything - so back up data to external media first.

    Check the manufacturer's website for their instructions - every manufacturer has their own process, and that can change between models, so sheck the iste for your model.

    Hi Noel,

    I've encountered a bit of an unexpected problem whilst reformatting the laptop which I'm hoping you can help me with(!).

    I loaded the 2 recovery disks that were provided and followed all of the instructions to do a factory reset (there were no files on the laptop that needed saving apart from some photos).  The laptop's original Windows 7 Home Premium loaded up and everything seemed fine.  The only extra thing I did was insert a mobile internet dongle, which loaded it's driver and asked permission to make changes to install.  However, when I switched the laptop and off and turned it on again, it would not load.  A black screen appeared with the following text:

    Windows failed to start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

    1) Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.

    2) Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".

    3) Click "Repair your computer".

    If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

    Status: 0xc000000e

    Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccesible

    The only way I am then able to get the laptop working is by doing a full factory reset using the recovery disks...but same problem each time I turn off laptop.

    Would really appreciate any help you can offer.  I don't have specific Windows Installation Disc as it was loaded on by the retailer and incorporated into the recovery discs, so can't follow the suggested course of action.

    This sounds as if the problem is with the installation disks you're using.

    Does your machine have a COA sticker on the case (or inside the battery compartment)?

    If so, I'd suggest downloading the SP1 Refresh ISO and burning it to disk, then using that for the install together with the COA Key.

    Download the SP1 Refresh for your chosen language and edition from the links on these pages...

    http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft

    The links are for downloads from the Digital River server run for MS.

    Hi Noel,

    Thanks for that.  Yes I have a COA stiker.  It says I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium OA.  So would the correct Digital River item to download be the Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh)?

    Thanks for that Noel.  Unfortunately I am in India at the moment and the download speed I'm getting is not fast enough to allow me to download the file, so I will wait until I return to the UK and run off the file then.  Thanks again
