Hi John,

Since you are using a new hard drive, Vista thinks you are trying to install it on 
another computer. This is why you are receiving this activation message. You will 
just need to do a phone activation to get your Vista activated again. This will show 
you how.

If you are still in Reduced Functionality Mode, then this will show you how to get 
of it.
