Hi
A while back I installed a second HD, added XP to it, moved MS Office programs from the old to the new by simply using COPY and PASTE. The programs failed to start on the new HD. I forget what I did but probably found the original disks and reloaded them.
Now, I'm reformatting the HD on my laptop. This time I don't have the CDs for some of my programs. How do I reinstall my exisiting programs? They didn't come with the laptop. I can get the keys from "Help" on the programs. Will simply COPY and PASTE work? Did I forget to copy something the first time I tried years ago? On this laptop I have XP Pro (supplied w/laptop).
