Boggin:
I wonder if the Ultimate upgrade was a bought OEM install as after either February this year or last year, MS stopped selling Win 7 anything and OEM installs could be bought off the Internet as an alternative.

While they will work, once an OEM version has been installed then it cannot be transferred to any other machine, unlike a retail version.

If you downloaded Speccy, under Operating System just above where it gives the product key, it will give the date of its install.

You should be okay to use that key for a repair install but it won't work for a clean install as you would need a retail key for the disks I've sent you, although you may be able to do a clean install with your disk - but that would have to be a try it and see.

qaz:
i seem to recall speccy said it was installed last year.

i would try the serial but if u recall i couldn't get to the right page/place ....

Boggin:
Well you can try the repair install with the disks I've sent you but I don't think it will change G: to C:

I think the only way you can do that would be to perform a clean install with the disk that you have.

However, when you get the disks I've sent you, you could boot up with one - select Repair your Computer and navigate to the Recovery Environment - select Command Prompt and enter -

bcdedit |find "osdevice" then using which partition letter that returns, enter (assuming c )

sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offbootdir=C:\Windows

I don't know if that will resolve the Permissions issue but it should sort out any system file corruption.

qaz:
thanks very much i will do that and post her results
