Installled additional hard drive, now Vista says ...Evaluation cop
I recently added 2 gig memory, a new processor and a new hard drive (C) to my
Dell XPS 420. I used my "(Dell) Reinstallation DVD" to install Vista to the new hard drive which is now C:. The original Vista is still on the old hard drive (E  .FWIW, during the new HD install I sometimes booted the PC from the new drive and the old drive. At some point, Vista put that "Evaluation copy" at the bottom right of the screen. Also, again at some point, Vista asked me to validate, which I did without any problems. Anyway, my question is how to make the ...Evaluation copy... notice go away? Many thanks, Terry

Installled additional hard drive, now Vista says ...Evaluationcop
This can be caused if test-sign mode is started.
To disable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command: 1. Type CMD in Vista's Search box and when the CMD icon appears, right-click on it and select "Run as administrator". 2. Then type (or copy & paste): Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF Note: After you change the TESTSIGNING boot configuration option, restart the computer for the change to take effect.

Installled additional hard drive, now Vista says ...Evaluation
Thanks for the reply. I did the bcdedit and it returned a message that it
had completed the action or something. But I still have the Evaluation Copy notice. I am just guessing, but I think Windows "saw" that I had Vista installed on two hard drives for a couple days and put the Evaluation Copy on one of them. I am now running Vista on only one hard drive. I formatted the original hard drive and am using it for extra storage. Any other ideas?

AFAIK 6200 was the original RTM release so at least you are not running an
evaluation copy. Is there any reason you have not installed Vista SP1 or SP2 on your system? "Terry" wrote in message ... It says Build 6002. Today I re-activated Vista but no solution.
