Yea thanks Bo, I ended up doing that and got it reactivated... I also asked
the guy if it will need to be reactivated every time I flash the BIOS. His
response was, "looking at all the calls I get regarding this same situation I
would say yes you would have to reactivate every time you flash the BIOS."
Well gee Microsoft, with all the new technology coming out and the constant
updates, did you think people wont flash/update their BIOS???
Thanks for wasting my time MS.
