Long story short ...... I purchased a laptop, for cheap, from someone at a local yard sale. I discovered it had a bad hard drive, and the COA sticker was not legible. I purchased another hard drive of equal capacity. Prior to replacing the
hard drive I managed to retrieve my product key, via Magical Jelly Bean, from the pre-existing OS on the old hard drive. I then proceded to clone the defective hard drive to the new one. After cloning, I tried to envoke the recovery partition
now located on the new hard drive. After reinstalling Windows Vista using the recovery partition, I found my brand new user profile was corrupt. Sigh ..... After two failed attempts at this, a friend loaned me his retail edition of Windows Vista
so that I could reinstall my OS. At this point, all is well, only I cannot validate my license key.
Following the advice from this post:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/genuinevista/thread/493f068f-e103-44ab-9ee0-ee2fe8827b6f
I have obtained the following results as per the Genuine Diagnostics Tool. I am having difficulty activating Windows Vista Home Premium x86 on my laptop. Any help would be much appreciated. I have only 2 days to successfully activate .... sigh.
