I have a laptop which i bought about 4 years ago with windows 7 home basic on it, about a year ago it booted up 1 day and it said that it was and unregisterd version and that it had lost its serial, i google it and apparently some malware had deleted the activation code, hmm simple i'll jus turn over the laptop and put the code back in! But where ive been using the laptop on my sofa arm its rubbed away the sticker. So i got on to microsoft and the wanted like £100 or something to get a new code! I googled a fix and used something called 'remove wat' which allowed me to use the computer fairly normally. Today my 4 yr old was playing on the cbeebies website and the computer randomly shut itself down and when it booted back up i had the same problem! I tried remove wat again but it didnt work!
So i thought i'd try to reset the computer to factory settings, after an hour or so it cam up saying recovery not complete, wouldnt give me any details or log file. When i try to reboot now it comes up with the screen to do a recovery it wont let me boot up at all. Im guessing that the restore to factory settings dint work because its lost the activation code?
