Activate using the telephone as suggest or you may have the option to &quot;use the existing KEY&quot;, I have 2 identical levono laptops and I swapped the HD's over 2 days ago and had to do the same thing, one was a telephone activation, the second allowed me to use the existing key, both worked fine.

My hard drive in a HP Z400 Workstation with Windows 7 32-bit failed after only 9 months. HP sent me a new Hard Drive. I used Norton Ghost 15 to ghost my old hard drive to the new hard drive.<br />
<br />
Now, when I boot my computer with the new hard drive, I get a message after logging in stating that Windows is not Genuine and I am not able to do anything.<br />
<br />
I have tons of programming software installed on the old drive and don't want to have to restore using the Windows DVDs that came with the Workstation.<br />
<br />
Is there any think else I can do?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
