Bizarre problem after reinstalling vista on same computer RRS feed

  • Question

  • I wanted to refresh the system completely, so i reformatted the hard-drive and reinstalled vista 64bit using the original discs from when i bought the computer. I have done this before with no problems. No changes were made to the computer hardware. I installed the OS. Left the computer for a few weeks as i was busy, when i turned it back on it said it was not "genuine" and not activated, so i went onto the auto phone system and successfully activated the copy of windows. Even in windows, it says it is "activated". However it also says it is "not genuine" but i know it is genuine. I am pasting below here the results from the diagnostic tool (which also says "Validation Status = Genuine". But thats no help since when in windows i cant do the usual windows updates since it will not allow me to (on the basis that it thinks it is not genuine). I have deleted the URL's from the report since the website is blocking me from keeping them in (it says it has to verify my account)

  • At this point in time, as everything was looking "good" apart from the windows spasm regarding "genuine" copy of vista, i decided to manually install SP1 & SP2 - so i downloaded them and they both installed successfully.  Everything seems to be working well now. 

    Thankyou for the help

  • Something appears to be blocking validation - please attempt manual validation using Internet Explorer at

    www.microsoft.com/genujine/validate - what happens?

    If it fails, please check the diagnostics, at www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag and followany instructions there, then attempt validation again.

    post back with your results, and a new MGADiag report.

  • OK - thanks - i shall follow your steps. Currently, it all appears to be Validated & the warnings about not being genuine have gone away - the desktop background no longer says it is not genuine. I am able to install windows updates BUT it will not allow me to install Service Pack 1. It keeps telling me to install SP1, i do it, click through all the steps, but after every time, it keeps asking me again to install it (because it didnt really install properly in the first place i guess)

  • Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....

     

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

     

    At the Command prompt, type

     

    CHKDSK C: /R

     

    and hit the Enter key.

    You will be told that the drive is locked,

    and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, press Enter, and then reboot.

     

    The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!

     

    After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -

    then run the SFC.

     

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

     

    At the Command prompt, type

     

    SFC /SCANNOW

     

    and hit the Enter key

     

    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

     

     

    Copy the CBS.log file created (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log) to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive Public folder (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

     

    Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

  • Please post a new MGADiag report so we can check that it's not likely to throw a fit later :)

  • That looks fine, apart from some common errors in the SFC scan, which I think can be safely ignored.

    Looks like you're good to go :)
