New notebook because old one crashed. I have my installation disks of Office
Small Business 2007 UPGRADE, which was installed on the old notebook. Of course,
I can't locate the disks for Office 2003, which I'd upgraded from. And, of
course, in the install process, Office 2007 is telling me there's no version of
Office on my computer so I can't "upgrade."

I do, however, have the install disks for Office Home and Student 2007 (which is
loaded on a different computer). According to the Office Small Business Upgrade
docs, that qualifies as a version eligible for upgrade. When prompted to insert
that disk during the Small Business upgrade, I'm told to navigate to the
"appropriate drive." But the install process tells me the path I've chosen
doesn't point to a qualifying upgradable product.

I've tried pointing to lots of different locations on the underlying disk but
haven't hit the right one. Where should I point?

(I suppose I can install Home and Student and then upgrade from that full
install, but...)

Thanks,

Peter H & S does not come in an Upgrade Version. It does come as Retail full
version. I don't think it even comes as an OEM as the trial version when it is
converted is a full retail version as far as I have been able to find out. I have
repeatedly requested copies of the converted trial version EULA for Office 2007 H
& S but have never had anyone copy it and send it to me or post it online.
