As an observer on the sidelines, I'm just puzzled why you _aren't_ just
putting back the backup W7 HD, and spending so much time trying to get
the more recent one back to activated. I'm assuming the backup one was
made by cloning an activated system. Or have you done something with the
one that's gone rogue, that you don't want to lose?

You make a good point. I have spent way too
much time on this and that was the whole point
of having backup HD's and Mrimgs so I wouldn't
have to be doing this.

However we have gone so far with the HD it seems a
waste not to activate it.
