My system crashed - I need to reinstall Microsoft Office 2007 Home and
Student. I have the original disk and the product key. But I don't have
an
external drive to run the disk. Any solutions?

4 possible options:

1. Go to this web site and download the retail reinstall package for the
Office version you have (a long download so you need broadband setup)
http://www.microsoft.com/office/downloads/

2. Use a computer that has a DVD/CD drive, copy the entire disc onto a USB
drive of some type and then use the USB drive on your net book to load
Office.

3. Network two computers together where one has a drive and share it with
the net book to run the installation from.

4. Purchase an external CD/DVD drive for your use now and in the future.
