Problem cloning with SSD

[Motley]

OK I just picked up the Crucial M4 256GB today at MC.

I have the full version of Acronis.

So it clones my drive just fine. Then I disconnected the old HDD. And bootup into Windows. Everything looks great.

But wait a minute, I log in and its a locked blue screen that says "This is not a genuine version of Windows".

What the heck is that all about? I tried to run the Windows recovery also, it detected a problem, and fixed it. But Windows is still locked with a blue screen. (not BSOD). A license or something? Never even seen this before.

I have Windows 7 64 Home Premium. And it was successfully activated before the clone.

Please help!!!!

Welcome to windows activation. Try doing the online-activation first, if that fails then you have to do the phone activation thing.

Well its working now. I just re-cloned it again. And now it Windows is activated and fine.

That was weird.
