| | Activating My HD recently crashed and as a result I had to buy a new Hard drive and i had to reinstall Windows Vista. ANd even then I had to buy a full version of Vista, and reupgraded that using my Ultimate disk. But now the OS won't let me activate my Vista is there any way to fix this without putting down another 200 on a upgrade. |

| | Re: Activating Did you already have Windows Vista before this started? If so, why did you purchase Windows Vista again? As for activation, choose the option to activate by phone. Call the displayed number for your region, normally done in less than 10 minutes. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "cdkl" <cdkl@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:41D90277-E0BE-49DE-94BB-BBF87DB5ACD3@xxxxxx Quote: > My HD recently crashed and as a result I had to buy a new Hard drive > and i > had to reinstall Windows Vista.

| | Re: Activating http://vistarewired.com/2007/02/28/p...-upgrade-disc/ Microsoft even confirmed that the workaround was possible but warned that they would be violating the terms of use agreed to when they purchased Vista. So it's up to you if you choose this route.
