After Updating BIOS - OS asking to be reactivated due to hardware change

Question
-
Hi,
After applying a BIOS update (American Megatrends 1.2 to 1.8) earlier today, after reboot i lost my OS RAID-1 mirror. I then booted the VISTA ultimate SP1 OS into drive 1 of the split RAID-1 mirror, after logging in the system requested reactivation.
I then attempted to reactivate using my original OEM code which failed. I tried to validate using the online Validate Windows tool and that fails as well. The system is 1 years old, no prior issues, activated online 1 year ago. I downloaded and ran the diagnostic tool

You can reactivate your Windows Vista installation by performing the following:
1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 4
2. Press the Enter key on your keyboard.
3. Select your Country.
4. Follow the instructions for phone activation (no charge).
NOTE: When you call that number, you will first hear an Automated Voice. If the Automated Voice gives you an option to talk to a
Live Activation Rep, select that option. If not, do not enter any numbers. This should force the Automated Voice to transfer you to
a Live Activation Rep. Trying to activate thru the Automated Voice will not work, in your case, only thru the Live Activation Rep
will your activation be successful.
