    You didn't do it correctly I see trailing \ before you execute some of those commands in the background.

    Don't mess with slmgr commands. You have to install a clean W7 again...acronis is your friend! Thats why I have said to all who want to test WAT MAKE a backup BEFORE.

    If you read the WAT blog closely you get that the status will remain!

    OK. I just installed WAT and rebooted. I had Grub2 installed because I multi-boot with some Linux distros. Since I installed WAT Grub2 is now trashed and I can't boot into anything. I don't know what to make of this. I'll restore my backup and I assume things will be restored.

    I have NEVER used a loader on this machine.

    Obviously I'm posting from a different computer right now.

    Try rebooting the computer and see if you still pass.

    He also had other anti-Wat installed besides biosmod - don't think it's the mod - only option to revert to previous image (clean image I assume) or reinstall - WAT makes permanent changes even after uninstall. :(

    If WAT is messing up a legit Windows install with a dual boot with grub, then I sense another class action suit against MS.
