My boss asked me to install Windows 7 for him. Without thinking about drivers at the time, I just said "just give me your HDD, and I'll do it." I put his drive in my computer, installed it and some programs, put back his data and gave him back is drive. Only now, a few hours later, did I think that he might have driver issues and Windows won't boot saying that the hardware has changed and it stupidly won't just install the drivers.
How would I go abouts fixing this? I'd really rather not have to reinstall W7 again and have to deal with tech support about activation. How would I be able to add the drivers in, without being able to actually boot into W7?
Also, will the activation stick? While talking with tech support the other day, they said something about the activation checking the exact hardware.
