    My windows would no longer boot with a invalid system disk error message.

    Reinstalled windows and it crashed again. Did it a second time on a new HDD and now I am getting windows is not genuine. Ran the validator and still saying not genuine

    Without a report it is hard to say for sure. If you installed with the same key that the previous installation used you may just need to activate by phone. Try activating by phone, if that does not work submit a report.

    Activate by phone

     

    1. Type "slui 4" in the start menu search box, hit enter

    2. Select country or region

    3. Dial the number, DO NOT select any menu options, just wait and a person will pick up.

    4. activate by phone.

    It is assumed that Carl's post resolved the issue.
