Install office 2003, have key, no disc drive
I have a netbook that doesn't have a cd drive. I own Office Student and
Teacher Edition 2003 and the key, and want to install it on the netbook. I can't download it from Microsoft because it's no longer available. I read on the internet that it could be copied to a thumb drive and installed, but when I tried that, after I entered the key, a message said that it was corrupted. Unfortunately, I don't have an external cd drive either. Any help would be appreciated

since you have a
usb port, you might try using an external dvd/cd drive. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen "LaurieLC" wrote in message ...

If it was corrupted then the first thing you should do is to reformat the
flash drive so that any bad sectors are marked by the operating system not to write any data over it. Then copy the entire CD again but this time making sure that all the hidden files and folders are also configured to be visible before copying and pasting on to a flash drive. hth "LaurieLC" wrote in message ...

Install office 2003, have key, no disc drive
thanks for clarifying
it to me. however, since o.p has a usb port that was used for the thumbdrive. then it would behoove the o.p. the "get" an external drive to bypass the limitations and difficulties of this issue and future issues. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen "LD55ZRA" wrote in message ...
