    The machine will no longer boot into Windows except into Safe Mode
    with limited functionality - just enough for you to manually enter the
    activation code after getting it by telephone from Microsoft.

    Once the activation code has been entered full functionality will
    return and everything will be intact.

    Good luck

    The computer will cease to boot into a functional windows. It is my
    understanding that you are presented with the product activation facility
    from which you can activate windows and continue using your computer.
