Set Up/Repair

[Sam E]

I just added a new internal hard drive (Western Digital) - after transferring
all material from the old drive to the new one, I now receive an error
message indicating that Office 2007 "set up did not completely
correctly....'run set up and repair'..." - I've attempted to re-install
Office 2007 with no success - error message re-appears - any suggestions?

Added a drive or replaced a drive?
How did you transfer all media?
And what does all media mean?

 

[Sam E]

yes, I added an internal hard drive (Western Digital) - so, now I have 2 -
Master/Slave - WD provided instructions that allowed me to transfer all the
MATERIAL (i.e., I copied all programs & documents)f rom the 15gb internal
drive to the larger one (132gb) -

Moving programs in that way is not going to work.
The WD utility is designed to clone (copy) your old drive to the new, in
order that you can remove the old and replace it with the new.
When you install a program it installs files in many locations and adds many
entries to the windows registry, all of which contain pointers to the
origonal location.

Your origonal data and applications should still be on your old C drive.
Use Explorer to check that your My Documents and Programs are still located
on C - you will have to enable viewing of hidden files.

Once you have ensured everything is still on C,
Use Disk Management to delete any Partition on the new drive, then create a
partition & Format it.

Then uninstall any programs you wish to move to the new drive & reinstall
them on the new drive

Check properties of My Documents & use the option to 'move'
