Doing a double install
This method is the longest method but it will work. This method is approved by Microsoft. To install, do the following
- 
				Install Windows by booting to the DVD. Click here for instructions 
- 
				Once the install is done and the registration fails, put the Windows 7 Setup DVD in the optical Drive (if it is not in the drive) 
- 
				Navigate to the drive and double-click the Setup in the DVD disk directory. 
- 
				Choose Upgrade (Do not choose Custom) 
Activation should work this time.
