How to access office when have new hard drive with my OS on?

[Lostinether]

I have just installed a much faster hard drive on my PC. I still have the
original one with Windows XP and Office 2003. I have installed XP on the new
hard drive and want to be able to use Office 2003 but can't unless I use the
old hard drive OS. I have managed to loose my copy of office while moving
house. Is there any way of transferring the files necessary to the new hard
drive? Or is it going to cost me again?

If you had imaged / cloned your old drive to the new one using the correct
method, it would'nt have been neccessary, all apps/data would have been in
place - though even if successful you would need the office cd at some
stage.
