I reinstalled Windows 7 with the same I had before (Professional, 32bit). But when I entered my Product Key it said, "The product key you have entered appears to be a default product key and cannot be used for activation. Type a different Windows 7 Professional product key."

Any ideas?

What kind of windows license do you have? Retail/system builder (bought from shop) or preinstalled-preactivated (royalty oem)? Also run this tool, click Copy, paste into notepad and upload/paste the .txt file/results here.

You have installed retail windows but not inputted the product key. Thats why your windows is in the initial grace period. Look at the retail package, there would be a product key on it. Thats the one you need to enter.

I see. If you're telling the truth, you've been taken for a ride. The key that is installed on your computer and which is also presumably the one you've been "given" is the pro default key. Thats the embedded key that makes windows work in the grace period i.e. before the actual product key is inputted, its time bombed and cannot be used after a defined time (max 120 days).

Catch hold of the seller, if you've paid for this license and demand a refund. If you havent paid, well, just go and buy a genuine license.

I know that you are frustrated but your log is saying that your key is not entered properly and that your on the "trial" period of your install.

I would contact microsoft and tell them the key and they will let you know what is wrong.

Other Info
I have dos 6.22, wfwg 3.11, win98, 2000 and xp VHD's available for testing. MS's Virtual PC works great.
I had Windows XP x86 on a Dell Inspiron 9400. Default operating system of the system. I have Windows Vista that works perfect and installed it, Windows Vista Professional x86. And of course like anyone else I wanted Windows 7 so my brother got a copy of Windows 7 from his school and he installed Windows 7 Professional x86. He gave me the code to reinstall it if ever needed along with the install disc (i.e. [removed by admin]) And enter it and it gives you the default key prompt. So I'm guessing that is the wrong code?

OS

Yes, thats the wrong code. HYF8J-CVRMY-CM74G-RPHKF-PW48 is the default key for win7 pro edition. This key is embedded in the install dvd. When you first install win7, you might have noticed, you get 30 days trial? This is extendable upto 120 days. So you can go on using full windows without entering a product key for 120 days. After that, this key will not work and you need to enter your own, genuine purchased key to activate windows.

Your bro likely gave you the wrong key by mistake or somebody else gave him the wrong key. If the key is from the school, the school would have the correct code. Large organizations like corporations and univs often use volume licensing keys (KMS/MAK) so make sure you ask them for instruction on how to activate in addition to the key.

Before you guys go can you answer another question I have having troubles with?

I have a folder on my C:\ drive called f3706b4ea8fd8fdc6b6c7501
It is hidden, it is undeleteable, and I have no idea why it is there.

Probably a temp folder created by an update or MSE. It should go away after a reboot.
