I tried everything to resolve this. Even hired a computer specialist, but to no avail. I had to actually go out an purchase another copy of Windows 7. It seems you just can't upgrade your primary hard drive with the original product key of your computer for Windows 7. This is not fair in my view, since hard drives rarely outlive the life of a computer and fail all the time. I migrated to a solid state hard drive for my C drive in hopes it will last longer.
