Windows Vista Activation After Reinstallation

Question:

I have a problem activating my Windows Vista after my hard drive crashed on my laptop.  Now that i have installed Vista again it is asking for my activation key on the bottom of my laptop.  When I enter it it says that this key is already in use.  Please help as I have only a couple of days left for reactivation.
Thx

Answer 1:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/quick-start/activation-faq.aspx

Quick start: Activation FAQ

It is in use, by your previous install.

Try this, and hold on for a real person:

1. Click Start, and in the Search box typeslui.exe 4

2. Press ENTER on your Keyboard

3. Select your Country.

4. Take the Phone Activation option, and hold on for a real person.
