| | Yes you can, assuming you have your original Product Key. But I would wonder why the clone failed. Was it a true clone or an image restore and what application did you use? I'm wondering if the new drive has problems. |

| | i used seagate's cloning program to clone. the error message was, at the 92% done spot, that it could not read disc 1, which is the older drive. so i think the original has a problem, not the new 1? yes, i have the key. |

| | Does your old hard drive pass the manufacturer's diagnostic tests? I'd try to find out if I had any intention of continuing to use it. Have you considered imaging rather than cloning? Of course, a clean install is probably the preferred choice if you don't mind doing it. |
