Try installing the OS that shipped with the computer. If it is an HP OEM version that you are installing on the HP computer for which it was designed then you should not have any problem. Otherwise, you need to buy a license from Microsoft, or the recovery disks for your computer from HP.
Testimonial: "Hello there I have got it fixed the solution was rather easy i just contacted hp and they informed me that even though i had a different hard drive i could still use the product number that was on the sticker on the bottom of the machine I did just that and yes it worked didnt have to reinstall anything"

if you have purchased legal copy of Vista, you will be having a Part Number on the Vista DVD. Call Microsoft Tech Support and provide them with this Part Number. they will get a new product key. This will work for you.

It really is a nuisance for users with genuine products. This has also occurred to many people with MS Office 2003. It could however be caused by someone installing XP or Office that used a Corporate License that will require updating in a different way and not via the MS Auto Update procedure.
You can simply uninstall the MS update check that does the validation or return you machine to a known good state via the system, restore function. Look at your system history to see which update you need to uninstall and avoid reinstalling next time you get the option. So turn off auto updates and then make sure you control which updates are applied.
Also call the store where you bought the system if they are still in business.

Hello,
Remove Windows & and reinstall you old software. Or buy a genuine copy of Windows 7. You can also install Linux, which you can get for free (Ubuntu will always be free.)
Hope it helps

Hi,
Why are wanting to clone your hard drive to another on when all you need to do is install Windows 7 directly onto the new hard drive?
Are you wanting to save all your settings and data before you install Win 7 over the top of XP?
