BleepingComputer.com: Unable to reactivate my vista.

My laptop was recently taken into to geeksquad and the HDD was replaced, and vista is wanting me to activate it. Problem is the key is not working, I keep getting an error when I try to activate it.

I am unable to do it over the phone because it is not giving me any option to do it by phone.

How do I fix it so i can activate my vista? I don't want to buy another copy because I had to replace my HDD that's silly. I still have all my info from the box.

Note that if this is a retail computer with the OS preinstalled, you have to contact the manufacturer of the computer

Didn't work.

I'm still not getting any option to call even after doing those steps, adn i can't change my Product key because it gives me an error.

this is the error I get:

error code: 0xC004F050
The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid.
