Prob after installing new H/D

[CB]

I added a second H/D and made it my boot drive. I transferred all programs,
app's, etc onto the new H/D. Everything runs fine, except.....
I have MS Office XP Small Business 2002 installed (2002 and OEM).
Everything works fine except for Word, Excel, and the others. Now, I get an
error window saying it's preparing to install, then another window saying
it's no longer functioning correctly, that I need to run Setup, then select
"Repair..." to restore. When I click the OK button, Word/Excel opens as
normal. Everything I save is correct, but the icon is that of a little
"menu" not a blue "W" or green "E" and I have to go through the error
windows each time I try to open a document.
It does this on both H/D's now.
I can't open the setup in Office, so I'm not sure if I should uninstall
Office then reinstall it, or if there is a fix for this.

Any help appreciated

Office does not like to be copied from one hard drive to another. Some
people have reported that explicitly copying the contents of the
C:\Windows\Installer folder from the old drive to the new drive will fix
Office startup problems on the new drive. If that doesn't work for you,
then you will need to uninstall Office from the new drive and reinstall
it from the original CD.
