The questions I am asking is due to the legal restrictions on the OEMs (Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.) that when they sell a computer with a copy of Windows BELOW the cost of Windows (almost Free in most cases) then the copy has to be 'engineered' to only work with that limited maker / model computer - aka TIED TO THE HARDWARE SPECIFICALLY. ![]() If your 'friend' just 'burned' a copy then it is NOT legit and there can be ANY number of issues with it outside of what I am pointing to, which you may not seem to be aware of based on your response. That Win7 Ultimate Disc, is it a OEM (note I am being specific here)? Or Store bought? It isn't legit if 'borrowed' (as in to be returned) from a friend.
