Error with validating product key

Question
-
Hi there,
I have a problem re-installing Windows 7 Home Premium into my laptop. When I bought the laptop it had Vista Home Premium pre-installed and some time later I acquired an upgrade disc for Windows 7 Home Premium and I upgraded to it through a clean install (Vista was running too slow). Recently the hard drive on my laptop stopped working and I had to replace it. When I tried to install Windows 7 in the new hard drive it does not validate the product and I get an error message telling me that this product is just for upgrades (as opposed to clean installations). Unfortunately my new drive does not have any registry of Vista, but I have the sticker with the Vista product key still attached to the laptop (a bit burned though). Can you help?.
Thanks in advance for your help and regards

the product key in use is the default key windows uses when no key is entered during install and can not be activated.
you will have to enter the product key from your proof of license label.
click start, type slui 3, press enter.
If you have any issues post a new report

Hi there,
I have tried what you told me and I get the same error message (Code 0xC004F061 The Software Licensing Service determined that this specific key can only be used for upgrading, not for clean installations). As I mentioned before no Vista installation disc was included when I bought my laptop so I can only install Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7. My only route with a new hard drive would be to do a clean installation (unless you can provide me with a Vista installation download that I could active with the product key shown in the sticker attached to my laptop. Please advise.
Thanks in advance for your help and regards

You can do a repair install of Windows 7 using your Upgrade Key - this will set the Key in place properly, and then it will activate.
