I reformatted my harddrive with the intent of a clean install. All went well
with that until product activation. My product key was declared 'invalid'
despite several reinstallings. I tried MS's activation line, who would
forward me to tech support, who would then forward me back to activation, and
so on. I even tried the pay line, with no success. I thought that the key
itself was the problem until I tried to install another version of Windows I
had lying around. (the first one was Pro, this time with Home) Again, I
cannot activate, and phone service has been of no help. Neither of the keys
has any reason to be invalid, so all I can think of is that there is some
issue with hardware, since neither version/key pair will work. Anyone heard
of this kind of problem?
