I purchased Windows 7 Ultimate in January 2010 and everything worked just fine (installation, activation, validation, etc). When I set up my computer first time I remember there was a message at some point saying that my Win7 license would be locked for
use only on this computer (or something like that).
After working just fine for half a year, my harddisk crashed just recently and I had to get a new one. When I reinstalled Win7 on the new harddisk (all other components the same), I couldn't activate it.
It says the product key is blocked by Microsoft. I retyped the key to make sure it was typed correctly, but no luck. I tried activating by phone but it didn't work either.
Then I read at this forum that blocked keys are not genuine. However I did the genuine test at microsoft.com/genuine, as advised by the automated phone activation. It passed the test, meaning it's genuine so I don't understand why it won't activate. Is it
because it's locked to my old broken harddisk which it was previously installed on?
Thanks for any help. I'll post the data from that MGADIAG tool aswell:
