I dual boot as well, but I havne't had these problems.  I was able to
purchase a OEM copy off a site a couple of years ago.  I think you might be
able to get one off newegg or other online site now.  I generally slipstream
my disks with the latest updates and all.

The site I've gotten most of this info has a link for it.  Here's a link for
the activation section which might help you -

All in all this shows the strength of Free Software.

Good Luck!
