Notebook says Win7 is not genuine?

Suddenly my notebook on startup, after the welcome screen, gives me a black screen with in very small letters the message: Build 7601 windows 7 copy is not genuine". There is no way to move from this except to hold the on/off button down to turn it off. The next time I turn it on it gives me the choises of Normal or Safe Mode. If I choose Normal I get the black screen again. If I choose one of the Safe mode choises I cannot use the commands suggested by several people

    My OS is not pirated. I took the notebook to Staples. The tech says that in is known that one system file gets corrupted and he deleted it. Would not say which file it was. Didn't charge me anything. Go figure
