Vista - Motherboard replacement vista Bus

03-16-2008

You can try a repair install. If you can't, install without entering the
pk, selecting the version you own a product key for. You will then be able
to do a repair install using your product key. You will have to activate by
telephone and wait for an operator and explain the problem. Good luck.
