Question Copying Office 2003 to another PC

Hello,

I have just recently bought a second hand computer that has Office 2003 installed on it. I would like to install this on another PC, but I didn't recieve a CD for it... Would it be possible to install it on another PC WITHOUT the CD?

Thanks for your help!

Oh dear... That really sucks! THAT REALLY SUCKS!! I was gonna format my harddrive and combine my two partitions into one drive. Is there any way of combining the partitions without loosing any data? I doubt there is...

Sure - Partition Magic can do that.

If you have a legal CD key for Office 2003, you can borrow someone else's copy and use it for the install. That's as close as you are going to get without buying Office. You could always use Open Office - that's free and reasonably M$-compatible.

Right. What I need to do is get a slave IDE cord (getting it tomorrow). Then copy my data to my second harddrive, format my petition to Fat/Fat 32 (it's in NTFS - grrrrr). Resize my C drive and then copy the data back. Lol

Unless you're instaling Windows 98 or want better compatability for sharing files back and forth between a dual-boot linux partition, you should really leave NTFS on there.

Partition Magic can't resize a Fat/Fat 32 partition with a NTFS partition... That's why I need to change it
