    Not running Genuine Windows with 0x8004FE21


    On a Dell PC (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit), I had a hard drive failure. I bought an identical size (1 TB) hard drive, restored a backup drive image (Norton Ghost) and successfully booted the PC (after running Windows DVD to repair bootrec.)

    Everything is working fine EXCEPT that every day now I get "Not Running Genuine Windows" with 0x8004FE21 error message and of course can't run Windows update either.

    I initially updated Dell BIOS and other what I thought were related updates from Dell website. Still same problem.

    I contacted Microsoft and they confirmed my COA sticker on PC from Dell is authentic. Still getting message each day.

    Any solution short of complete reformat/re-install of Windows 7 Ultimate?

    This may simply be caused by a bad set of Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers -

    Installing the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers
    try downloading and installing them from here - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=21730

    (you want the iata_enu.exe download)

    Once complete, please reboot twice, then post another MGADiag report.

    The link says it is for:
    Operating Systems:Windows Server 2003 *, Windows Vista *, Windows XP *

    Does it apply to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit as well? The Dell XPS 8100 PC isn't running Raid either, just standard W7 Ultimate 64-bit OEM as shipped from Dell.

    Also, what about all the file-mismatch and file-tampered errors?

    Sorry for the long delay in responding, but just wanted to let you know that the Intel RST driver update, followed by the two reboots worked!! Now it is really genuine again.

    Thanks for your help.
