    What the hell I just found out that my Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 is not genuine anymore after having installed Windows 8 Pro on another hard drive of my computer. :mad::confused:

    I tried restoring my (previous working) Windows activation backup with Advanced Tokens Manager, but I still get the M$ warning.

    My Windows 8 partition is fine and I used the 'Activate by phone' method, so no cracks or file patchers.

    What should I do to sort this out? :worthy::huh:

    If you used the Windows Loader for 7 you need to re-apply it, as Windows 8 Setup overwrote the bootloader.

    Windows 7 Ultimate does not support KMS activation, only Pro and Enterprise.

    That's what I did, but... for some reason the boot loader got f up so I had to repair it. :D
    Now I give it a 2nd try.

    Just to be double sure... we are talking about DaZ Windows Loader, right?

    Success!

    This time I tried by checking the 'Disable type 4' box as suggested by Daz in the readme and it worked flawlessly!
