If you need to reactivate try the Internet method. If this fails then follow
the on screen instructions to phone for activation.

All you can do is select telephone activation and then hold on for an
operator if it won't activate. Hope you have a satisfactory telephone
number presented. Most are local.

How is VISTA regarding simply cloning the contents to a new drive?

Drive Copy?

I have TI 9... thanks. Just wanted to know that it worked in the
event the need ever arises.

Cheers,

I would double check to make sure that TI 9 is compatible with Vista. There
were problems discovered later with partitions that were made with versions
not using the Vista NTFS.

I was stricly in reference to completely cloning an existing system to
a new HD. I am somewhat aware of (have experienced) the proprietary
VISTA partitioning issues... I guess that's why I was led to ask.

WOW sorry, your post didn't reference that and I was just trying to remind
about the incompatibilities of pre Vista versions.
