Windows Activation

    I bought a windows 7 upgrade disk a year ago. I installed it and everything was fine. Just over a week ago I'd to rebuild my laptop and I used the Windows 7 disk.

    Now I'm getting the Windows Activation message. As I bought an upgrade disk I don't have a product key for it!

    Is there anything I can do other than reinstall Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7? It's a bit of a nightmare!

    Any advice or thoughts are appreciated :o

    Thanks for the info - very much appreciated!
