I recently installed a new hard drive. I optioned to have the new drive be my
boot drive. Everything except Office moved to the new drive without problem.
Out is my biggest problem. I cannot export/import or access the data file.
Word complains but starts.

i tried to rin the original disk to fic the files but it sees the disk as a
"patch". I tried to remove office but I get the same result. It thinks that
the original install disk is a patch! Any suggestions?

Hi Ron,

Office has a lot of registry entries that are specific as to locations and doesn't migrate well with some 'drive' utilities.

What is the exact error message you're getting and the version of Office and Windows you're using? What is the complete name of the
edition on the front of your Microsoft CD for Office?

Thanks Bob but I got it fixed. I used MS's "Installer Clean Up" program, then
deleted the files in the Program directory. I could then reload Office with
no problems. Thanks for the response.
