I've had the same problem tried reactivating after new installed hard drives
and activation failed all I was doing was reinstalling after installing new
hardware and the activation and the Genuine Advantage proccess both fail.

Ended up calling Microsoft via chat support and they fixed me up with a new
key since the system said the old key was the wrong version.

I have an upgrade vista Ultimate so I got a new key everything seems to be
working.

I didn't have to pay because it was first issue problem only a few weeks old.
