put in your old hard disk, then format it, then put in your new hdd and then install windows again

did you take down ALL the numbers?? CD Key, Serial number below the Barcode, and the number on the left of the sticker on its side also??
they need these numbers also to validate any claim.

 started a diploma in IT, then stopped when programming stuff became main parts, didnt have much time to cope with other main studies
Anyway, I am not always right on what I say, just trying to help out from some knowledge I have and experience I've had
cheers

no, i asked him to be more precise but he just said he gaurantee it will activate windwos or full refund!
also said that he does not provide a cd key, so it must be some sort of bypass tool/program, he will email me the tool or whatever it is soon as i pay
what you think, worth a try??
