Office XP

[Ric]

Installed a new hard drive, it is the primary drive and the old drive is the
secondary.
Copied old drive to new drive as instructed by the new drives software. New
drive is now the boot drive.
My problem is that when I try to open Word or Excel (Office XP) windows
installer begins. It asks for the Office disc to begin installation. Then
a window opens up and states
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable."
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing
the installation package 511974.MAINSP3ff.msp.

Where do I find this? I am running WindowsXP Home.
Microsoft says that since my XP is OEM, that they can't help me.
Can't get much help at DELL either.

I would reformat and reinstall. Other than that my suggestion is to keep your
old drive as Master and slave the new drive to it.

If you have the office CD I would suggest doing a repair install, probably
the easiest way to fix it.

Go to add remove programmes in control panel

Select office then select Change, select repair then follow the rest of the
process.
