That is pretty judgemental edwar after he only made 3 posts.
After 7,800 posts do you know how much I have ? I don't think you would even come close at a guess.
Give him a fair chance to list his specs.
Sorry Edwar, but it looks like you're jumping the gun a bit without anything pointing towards it.
There's no mention of them coming out of an OEM computer. If they were, and he's using an OEM product key, then it's not going to activate on a different computer anyways.
There's a number of legitimate reasons why someone may no longer have their installation media.
Why so many new members do not show their rig

OK I'm out of this thread and maybe out of this forum. Funny how someone got banned today, he had posted to a thread I posted to, and after reading all of his posts I saw no real reason for the banning. But then I'm not an Admin. So from now on I'll just give advice, if I stick around, and not worry about the forum rules.
Got it.
In my first post I was just pointing out, As I said Sorry to bring this up, that if these drives came from other system that had OEM keys it was pirating software. Then I get jumped on by many.
And stating the forum rules that this forum does not condone that type of thing.
Honest Non judgement? What are you kidding me. That is all there was. And none of it was pointed at the OP, except greg after he edited his post (As I got the original post he made in an email) to include a question about where they came from and if he had keys.
Ok I'm done. Good Luck and Best wishes to you all.
No need to fight over this guys.. I have a valid oem sticker for both of these hard drives just no media. I bought 2 broken custom builds and fixed them, used them, then built a better machine and want to use them in it. If I wanted to do this illegally I would just torrent the Windows 7 install disc then I assume I could partition one of the drives which would give me the ability to do what I am looking to do. Instead I am trying to do this the legal way like I always do and I am hoping someone can give me the solution without the media.
My specs are as follows:
Core i7 2600k
Gigabyte GA-z68x-ud3h
16GB Patriot viper series 1600MHz
250GB SATA HDD
1.5TB SATA HDD
EVGA GTX 480
OCZ Fatality 550W PSU
