I assume you have a CD/DVD in a box and you want to install it on your system.
I also assume that your system hasn't got a CD/DVD drive. Assuming my assumptions are correct, you now need to buy an external CD/DVD drive which can be connected via a USB port so that you can install your product. I am surprised that the new system you have bought hasn't got the CD/DVD drive because all machines these days come with a basic CD drive. hth CNSmith wrote: How do you download an existing copy of office home and student 2007 onto acer computer without disk drive.

New Acer Computer with out a disk drive
Some new cheap machines (for kids) do not come with CD/DVD drives now. Home
and student is a version I bought for desktop computer with CD/DVD drive and now I have a New Acer without one for my kid to carry around at school and I want to put Home and Student on. Do you know if I can go into Microsoft and give them my existing Key and download a version offline. "Kevin" wrote: I assume you have a CD/DVD in a box and you want to install it on your system.

They don't have any drives. You have to have an external USB, or a thumb drive. The design intent of the machine is to surf the web, it's not really intended for computing. I loaded Office '03 on mine, and it runs fine. I loaded from a network resource -- I have a wireless network that I loaded from.
