You may find that buying an external drive is a good idea.

Try copying the disc to a USB flash drive and install from that.

I already own office 2007 Retail copy. I have had it installed on my
gateway
laptop for a few years now. I just purchased a samsung netbook with no CD
drive. How can I install it on my netbook. I see no need to pay for the
preinstalled version on the netbook, when I already own it. Can I download
it
from the internet to my netbook or is there some other way to install it
without having to pay for another copy of it. Thanks
