my laptop hard drive died. I have the installation disk for win 7 so I could install that when I put in a new hard drive. How can I get ms office back on my new hard drive. I can still access the hard drive but the boot sector is corrupted so I can't start the computer from this. Any ideas on fixing my old hard drive or getting office back on the new drive?
 
You can buy an external hard drive enclosure at an electronics store, put the old one in there, and probably retrieve the data off it from your new windows 7 install.
BUT you can't reinstall office this way. You might want to get in contact with your laptop manufacturer because if office came with your laptop you should be able to get a reinstall cd. If your windows 7 cd is one that came with your laptop, it might be the same thing.
