I don't know if there is something that can be done or not (other than calling MS) but it's worth a shot.

I have a PC where I have installed XP pro and Windows 7 as a dual boot system. Apparently I did not use the drivers disk under XP initially then proceeded to install Windows 7. Once Windows 7 was installed I used the PC for a couple of days under Windows 7 and then it set for a while.

So anyway I booted it up the other day and it tells me that it needs to activate windows now, The problem is I have not yet installed the drivers for the network card so it can not activate and therefore is not letting me in.

Is there someway I can gain access to the system long enough to install the network drivers so it can activate itself or am I stuck calling MS or reinstalling?
