hey guys, i've recently reformatted my harddrive so obviously i had to reinstall windows, all is fine until i am asked for the product key, i enter my key found on the sticker (i've reformatted the HDD twice with this key with no trouble...) and it says its not valid.....what could be the problem?!
help would be much appreciated
cheers
restart the installation and do a standard format of the hard drive DO NOT select the quick format option. if you are given the option to delete the partition do that and then create a new one

Microsofts keys are only good for a few times rerun then you have to call them and they may or not give you a new one
try what bobbyraw said and disconnect any internet cables. That should work.
