Default Upgrading from Office Home and Student to Small Business

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,

It's retail.

But, ya know, in the meantime, I just installed the Home and Student version
and then easily upgraded to the Business version.

I'm still interested to know, however, just where the heck I should have
pointed the install program to find the darn thing!

Thanks.

You should have put the '07 H & S disk in the drive when asked for
qualifying product and pointed to the drive letter for the CD drive. The
installation program should have scanned the disk for the files it needed to
ensure qualification. Now that you installed the programs you probably will
be stuck with the non-commercial banner on Word, Excel and PowerPoint even
though it is Small Business.

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.

Yeah, I did put the H & S disk in when prompted, and did point to the disk
drive. I kept getting the message that kept telling me there was no
qualifying program there. Moot point now, though...

Thanks.
