Alright, so my harddrive died a painful death. I had to reformat, clean install. Now I have to deal with some new 'verify your windows install' crap by registering it over the internet or over the phone? WTF? Am I just a lucky SOB and never saw this screen before? Can someone PLEASE tell me how I get just get RID of this stupid request? I REALLY don't want to deal with Microsoft, even if they are down the street.
