Installing Office XP Standard on a new computer

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

This would be my wild guess:

Since you had Office installed on the original hard drive, maybe there's
something forcing your install to look at the new hard drive and it see a
conflict in the mapping. Did you uninstall Office from the original drive?

No, I did not uninstall Office from the old HDD. But now it seems there are
several conflicts. I have tried installing other software as well with the
same situation as Office (f. ex. Norton SystemWorks) , with messages similar
to the one from the Office install popping up. I have removed the Norton
folders from the old drive; I even removed the old Windows folders, but
nothing helped. Even WinXP seems having trouble when I put the CD-ROM in the
drive. It seems there is a conflict between the CD-drive and WinXP, or at
least running win-installers from the drive. Other programs have installed
flawlessly...

Repairing WinXP by booting up from th CD-drive did not solve the problem.
Since there are no crucial data on the new HDD, I may see myself
re-installing WinXP on a clean drive again (i.e. formatting).

I suspect you were trying to make the switch as easily as possible with as
little work as possible. That's not always a good way to think with
computers. A clean install is going to give you fewer problems.
