Can't activate Windows 7 for a third time.

Question
-
So basically, I've been forced to reinstall Windows for a third time on the same machine but with different hard drives (I'm not going to go into detail as I've already explained myself multiple times to Microsoft - hard drive failure caused me to install onto an old hard drive and now a fresh install on my new hard drive). All of a sudden Windows wants to activate (again?) and the product key is "blocked". I called the toll-free number for phone activation and all that the operator did was confirm that the key was blocked. He referred me to the genuine advantage department and requested I call a number but when I do the phone rings twice and cuts off.
Here's the diagnostic report. Please, someone from Microsoft tell me what I have to do to get this sorted. This really shouldn't be an issue (it wasn't in XP).

Your Key is from a not-for-resale MSDN account. You need to claim an immediate refund from the vendor - do NOT accept the offer of a new key.(all they are trying to do is to get past the 45-day claims window. or avoid you sending the evidence of their crimes to the authorities)

The pirates have got VERY good at this over the past few years, as the price of equipment for manufacturing the packages drops, and as factories open in less well-policed countries.
