    Hello,

    I had to use the Recovery DVD for my ASUS UL30A. My old HD is not working anymore, so I bought a new one, and used the DVD.

    Now everytime I reboot, it shows a message: "Preparing to initiate the computer for first time use". And shows a screen "System Preparion Tool 3.14".

    How can I solve this?

    How can I end this problem?

    And it also says my key for Windows 7 is invalid for activation. And that I have 2 days to activate.

    Any ideas?
