The hardware seen by Windows is all different. I just went through this a couple of days ago when I moved a VM from my old laptop to my new one. My (legitimate) product key failed to work to activate. In that case, I had to go through the Windows activation center (on the phone) and give them a code that Windows gave me, then type in a 30-digit activation code they gave me. It was a hassle, but it eventually worked. I am not sure what would happen if you tried this with a copy of Windows that was for an original install; it may well be locked in to some of the hardware. For that reason, you might be better off installing Windows natively. I just did that yesterday on a brand new system. First, I used a Gparted Live CD (gparted.org) to partition the disk. I created some Linux partitions, and an NTFS partition for Windows. When I installed Windows 7, it was quite happy to install itself into the NTFS partition and leave everything else alone. So you may well be able to use a partition editor (perhaps fdisk) to create an NTFS partition, then install Windows 7. Obviously you want to make sure your existing Linux system is backed up first. The only drawback to this approach is that Windows will, in all likelihood, overwrite your master boot sector so that only Windows will boot. That will require booting from a Linux rescue disc (the Fedora install DVD works just fine) and reinstalling grub2 into the master boot sector. I personally think this is easier than having to re-install Linux again after installing Windows and then restoring your stuff, but you may see it differently. > > That being said, in the past Windows assumed it owned the whole machine > and would take over the entire hard disk.

IIRC, I had to change the postgres user from /bin/false to /bin/bash for one of our software devs to be able to monitor the DBs via Jenkins, could that have something to do with it? I can't imagine how, since I can su from the root prompt to the postgres user without asking for a password. Help!
