To Algy1943
If you bought the laptop with the software pre-installed, take
it back to the vendor and ask them to give you a genuine
copy of windows. If you installed a pirated copy, you have to
buy a new copy of Windows, or use a free OS like Ubuntu.
You can use the Upgrade option on the Windows installation
C D to upgrade to Windows Ultimate (if you use pirated Windows, the
message will remain).

Your Windows C D is corrupt. You should get a new copy from somewhere,
and you can use your Product Key during installation.
