can I install my activated OfficeXP on replacement hard disk? Andrew B 21.08.2006 10:22:01 My computer's hard disk began sticking and stopping, and the manufacturers have replaced it before it breaks entirely. I'm worried, though, that when I install that hard drive, I won't be able to install my Office disk as it's already been activated on the bad drive. Is that a worry? If so, how do I get round it?

If the activation fails over the Internet (because it thinks you may be installing it on a new computer), you can use the Telephone method to reactivate, and explain the situation to the operator. -- Susan Ramlet MVP - Office Please reply to the newsgroups where others may benefit.
