Validation

Hi i installed an OEM version of vista, it all set up perfectly until i had a
hard drive failure and had to re-install it, now its saying the key i used
for the first installation is being used and wants me to enter another one,
how do i solve this problem?

Call the provided phone number, validate over the phone, explain you have
replaced your hard drive.
No hassle, maybe five min total.
