Installing Office 2007 Professional over Office 2007 Home & Student

[jim]

I already have Office 2007 Home & Student installed. I'm trying to
install the full version (not upgrade) of Office 2007 Pro, but when I
load in the CD it won't auto-boot or even be recognized by the drive.
The drive reads other CDs OK, and this CD works on other systems.. DO
I have to remove 2007 Home and Student first?

Is this disk a DVD and the drive only a CD drive? That could be your issue.
If the drive is a known DVD, can it read other DVDs? Have you tried the
disk in another machine?

If you can get a drive to read the disk I would recommend uninstalling the H
& S Version as there have been some issues with the "Not for commercial use"
message being on the title bar even after a successful upgrade. If you want
to keep using One Note in H & S you can by doing a selective uninstall of
the other portions of Office H & S.
