[QUOTE="kme, post: 24737, member: 113"] When you replace the drive, you naturally have to re-install windoze, (unless you`ve a peecee with a spare drive bay) When you re-install, windoze susses out fairly quickly that you aren`t putting it back on the drive it used to be on. Ergo, it must be a copy (AFAWIC), Therefore refuses to validate itself, and permanently tells you that your copy of windows is suspect, and may be illegal. Makes perfect sense, from a purely logical POV, but is no use whatsoever to you or me!!! [/QUOTE]
