Well, the tutorial you listed said standard activation will work for most users, and everyone else should try a workaround. I guess I fell under most users. I think prior Windows activations are stored in the motherboard. Reason being, when I built this computer, I originally took the c drive...

So, good news. I got the authentic Windows 7 Pro Upgrade (from Best Buy) installed, and it accepted my product key without having to do any workarounds, even though I formatted, deleted, and recreated my C: partition. Thanks for the help fellas!

So, I just said fuck it and went to Best Buy and bought the Professional upgrade. Had a bunch of reward zone coupons! Got it practically for $50!

"Internet Explorer" is spelled wrong on the case. It's spelled "Interner". Third line in the bullet list!

Yeah, I did that the day I made this thread. Thanks!;)

I didn't even try going through paypal. You can only file a claim with either eBay, or paypal; one or the other, not both!

Thanks a lot for that! I searched for a few minutes yesterday on this site and couldn't find it! But I am probably going to go this route. Thanks man!:)

Vista?:D I saw it already! Lol!

Filing my claim now!

I didn't know counterfeit OS's even existed until this whole situation. I have been using XP since 2002, and all my OS's where preinstalled with the PC's I've bought. This is the first time ever I shopped for an OS only, since this is for my custom built tower. I'm new to the OS shopping...

I wouldn't trust it. I paid $109 for this crap. My actual auction got closed, but here is another from the same seller. He's not selling anymore, but this is an ended auction. Looks legit. Fooled me...

Well, I tried peeling up the hologram, and it seems built into the disk. I scraped really hard with my nail and it wouldn't budge! Also, what about my product key? How does it pas activation and genuine check?

So I decided to buy Windows 7 from eBay. I didn't trust the people selling product keys only, so I purchased a brand new retail package. When I shop on eBay, I always look for sellers that are really close to me so shipping is fast. So I found a seller, said to be located in Maryland (which...
