Logical to primary, with a twist

OK, Windows 7 is installed. I had to use method 3 to activate, which I'm not crazy about. Is it possible to work around this by activating over the phone?

That method to activate is ok, have you seen this at the link below?

Well done, have a look at this tutorial.


How to Dual Boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu

OK. It just came up with something about an unauthorized change before I restarted after the activation. Didn't have any problems when I restarted, though, but it didn't say it was activated either.

Yup, saw the link. I'll try it once I get done restoring my files.

Thanks again!

You're welcome, did it activate?

I'm not sure. It doesn't say it did in System in the Control Panel.

Nope. It says I've got 30 days to activate Windows.

Perhaps before you get too far along you should do Option Four, just so there's no issues.

Do a Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

Good idea. I'll try it after lunch.
