I used Acronis DD 11 to copy a Windows 7 boot partition to a new Acronis formated 500GB Sata drive. I created a 150GB partition, and the copy went fine. I now try to start the laptop, and Windows will start, I get preparing Desktop but then I get just a generic background, and a statement in the corner that shows the windows 7, build number and that the version isn't genuine windows. It is, and was activated, but now when I look at the processes, only bare minimum processes are running.

I have tried startup repair, rebuilding BCD, removing and reconstructing BCD, all to no avail. I want to try here before I give up, wipe the disc clean and start from scratch.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Most likely the drive letter assignment for the Windows 7 partition is incorrect. It should be set to C:.

Boot to the DD CD, click the Disk Layout link on the top-right of the screen and select the Windows 7 partition/system. Then check the letter assignment of the partition and change it using DD if it's wrong.
