Hello,

I couldn't find a Windows 7 group, so I thought it appropriate to post my
question here.

I installed Windows 7 on an iMac in a Virtual Engine using Paralles Desktop
5. I decided to install it using a Disk Partition instead, so I sent
Windows to the trashcan ( I couldn't find a method to uninstall it) and
unistalled Paralles. Using a program on the Mac called Bootcamp, I set up
the particion and reinstalled Windows 7. Now I am getting a message that
the Product Key I entered can't be used on that machine. I understand why,
I think, because the hard drive name changed. Should I have deactivated
Windows before reinstalling, and can I still do it? The Help shows that it
can after installing a new hard drive or memory, but the system doesn't let
me.

Thanks for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam
