Migration to a new HDD
Recently, I had to change my hard drive because the old one is about to wear
out. My old HDD was 20GB while the new HDD is 160GB. I partitioned the new HDD into 2_ 50GB & 110GB. I formatted the partition and copy the old HDD to the new HDD. The computer works except Excel. At first, every time I opened a Workbook (any workbook) a dialog box (name: Windows Installer) pops up saying:_ "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'Microsoft Office XP Small Business' disk and click OK." I have to keep the 'Microsoft Office XP Small Business' CD disk in the CD drive at all time. It worked for a day or two. Now, not only I have to keep the 'Microsoft Office XP Small Business' CD disk in the CD drive at all time, but also a '1' is added to the end of each workbookname when it opens up. I have Microsoft Office XP Small Business Version 2002 that came with the machine. Please advise, thanks.

Migration to a new HDD
Hi DL,
I used the 'Data Lifeguard Tools" provided by Western Digital. It should copy every thing in the old Hard disk to the new Hard disk. Then I made the new Hard disk as Master drive replacing the old one. "DL" address@invalid wrote in message ...

Migration to a new HDD
Hi JoAnn,
How do I do this? Do I remove the 'Microsoft Office XP Small Business' from the Add or Remove Programs? then run a setup.exe from the 'Microsoft Office XP Small Business' CD disk which came with the machine. Excel was pre-installed in the machine. Thank you for your input. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ... You can't "copy" Office from one hard drive to another.
