    Windows activation error - VHD


    Hello,

    I was able to complete the steps for the VHD.
    When I try to activate Windows (on the VHD) I get this error: 0x80070017

    found this link: Windows 7 installation error code: 0x80070017 - Microsoft Answers

    Link does not resolve my issue.
    Please help.

    Welcome to the windows 7 forums.

    Are you creating the VHD from windows virtual PC or some other virtual program?

    Also, what version of windows did you try to install on the vhd?

    I have had problems with some dvd's having a small area with dirt or some crud on it and after washing the dvd and drying it with a clean t-shirt, it then worked fine.

    Hello Rich,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I am on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
    I used ImageX for the VHD.

    And the image was of?

    Also, are you using the latest version of imagex?

    You might take a look at this article
