old Win7 activation error 0x80070005

Hello,
so I have a big problem right now. My Windows has to be activated in 3 days. So what's the problem? Well when I try to activate it with my valid product key it just says Activation Error 0x80070005.
Now I've read that 3TB+ Unlock is the problem. It prevents Windows from activating. The solution is: Uninstall it. So I've uninstalled it. But still, I am not able to activate Windows with that product key.

What should I do now? There's nothing about that exact problem to find on the internet and I am out of ideas.

Not possible. I used exactly this product key without problem for about one and a half year. But when my HDD broke a month ago I had to reinstall Windows. Since then it isn't working.

Should be no reason for. It's not a commercial key or what ever it might be. It's just a normal product key for a normal user (Win7 Home Premium).

Where do I find policies? My Windows is in German.
Or where do I find that thing called GPO?
Edit: I found it. But I have no clue how to "deactivate" it nor am I able to find that "Policies" folder in the gpedit

Suddenly it is a OEM what means that they can't help me then. I have no fucking clue why.

Edit: My problem is solved. I had to not install 3TB+ Unlock (GIGABYTE programm to allow the use of HDDs with more than 2TB) though I had to format Windows, what I didn't want to do actually.
