If that were correct it would mean you are not running a properly licensed version of Windows.

What was the source of the Operating System?

Was it pre-installed on the computer (aka OEM)?

Or did you install from a Windows disk?

Do you know the Product Key?

I have a disk and I have the #

This is one FAQ from the validation page:

Q: What do I do if my system fails validation, but I am certain that I purchased/have a genuine copy of Windows?

A: When a copy of Windows fails validation, the user is directed to a customized Web page with details about what caused the failure and recommendations for how to fix the problem. This page contains a section with troubleshooting steps. One of these steps will let you check to see whether you can use the online Product Key Update Tool. If your computer came with a genuine product key, but Windows was improperly installed using an invalid product key, the Product Key Update Tool helps convert your computer to a genuine status without having to purchase a new copy of Windows. If this solution does not work, refer to the instructions above for what to do when your system fails validation.
