Win7 'not genuine'

Had to do a crisis clone of my Win7 (IDE) drive due to imminent failure.

I can now boot into Win7, admin password recognised, but after a slow 'preparing your desktop' I get just a basic blank desktop with a non-genuine warning bottom right and now't else. Ctrl/Alt/Del is normal, and shutdown options too. Repair from DVD recognises the install but dumps me back at the repair options.

It obviously thinks I am trying to do a second install, I guess, but how do I get to any screen where I can re-validate?
