Office 97 disks

C

Corinne

Hello,

I have an old laptop which I am trying to bring along with my on a
business trip since its very light. I needed to reinstall Office 97
and only have diskette access no CD-ROM. I have Office 97 diskettes
but realize now that Microsoft had sent me two disks marked 32 and no
33.

I need the laptop right away and wanted to know if anyone out there
knows what files are on disk 33 and if it is possible to get those
files from Office 97 CD-Rom (which I also have) and then transfer them
to a separate disk which I can then install on the laptop. I will buy
an external CD-Rom but it won't arrive in time before my trip.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Coreen

Can you hook your laptop to a network and use the CD-Rom from a different
computer?

Corinne,

Are you likley to do any serious computing tasks such as Backups and all
that? If so then your $60 or so would be better spent buying an external
CDRW which can be run from your USB and/or Parallel port. USB versions
are quite cheap these days and buying one of these would not make a big
dent in your bank balance.

If your machine hasn't got a USB port then you need to get one which can
be connected to your Parallel port. Micro-Solutions have backpack
versions. Try this link:

Unfortunately, Office97 is not used widely never mind using floppy disks
to install modern programs!
