so i bought a new hard drive due to my old one starting to die. i have done this before with relative ease (a little loss in data but nothing to crazy) but this time i booted up after moving all the data over and i was told that my copy of windows 7 was invalid (without thinking) i restarted the computer. now it doesnt get past the boot screen. is there anyway i can fix this??

Hello and welcome to Bleepingcomputer.

I am taken it that you cloned your hard drive and all its contents to another hard drive, is this correct?

Bruce.
Please take notice. Oreo and I will not be available until June of 2012.
Thank you for understanding my absence, it is job and college related, so all is good. If I do not answer your PMs this is the reason why. See you all soon!

Bruce.

System manufacturer and model?

Did system come with restore/recovery partition or disk?
