Have Home and Student 2007 on desktop, want on netbook

[MoonpoetessZ]

Well, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right place or not. If anyone can
help, I'd really appreciate it.

I bought a CD version of the software of Home and Student 2007 (didn't
download from online) from Best Buy back in January for my desktop computer
and installed it and all that. I also got on My Office Online.

Well, I just bought a new netbook, and would like to install the software on
the netbook as well. I think that my software can be installed on up to 3
computers.

The issues are -

1. My netbook does not have a CD-ROM Drive
2. I can't find my installation CD

Is there any way that I can get my software on my netbook without buying it
again?

Is the best bet to try to find my installation CD and buy a cheap external
CD-ROM Drive?

Is there a way to download the software from the internet without buying it
again? It's just that I did buy it already, just didn't get the download
version.

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.

Yes, your best bet is to find your installation CD and get an external
CD-ROM drive (or consider an external DVD drive so that you can watch
movies)

Since your original installation CD will have your license key on the
package, you really don't have any other option than to find it.

I've installed Office 2007 Professional on a netbook from a USB drive that I
copied the CD from. A USB drive big enough to do that costs about $10. An
external CD/DVD drive costs $60 to $80.
