I have the same problem. I did a clean install using digital river, and now my window's 7 won't activate! Let me know if doing the upgrade from windows 7 works....

Run the installer from your new desktop and choose Upgrade (Repair) install. It will overwrite it and allow you to give key and activate afterward. This is common fix for clean install if Installer can't see your previous OS when disk is scanning HDD.
