After adding a new hard drive I get "The operating system is not p

[Revgrev]

I have a Dell Dimension 4500 with windows XP. My 120G hard drive was at 75%
so I uninstalled XP from it, added a 300G hard drive and re-installed XP
fresh on it. (So currently my 300G is "C" and has only XP on it and my old
120G is "F" and has everything else except the operating system on it.)
However now I cannot find Office in "All Programs". When I manually try to
open it through Windows Explorer I get this message: "The operating system is
not presently configured to run this operation".
Any advice?

You have to re-install your applications to the C: drive

You have to install Office, and any other apps on your new hard drive.
Your old drive is only any good for retreiveing data that is stored on it,
you cannot run any programs that were installed on it (Your old drive still
has the o/s on it, unless you deleted it, you cannot uninstall an o/s)
