I have Windows XP and have removed a failed hard drive
from the computer. (drive F). However when I attempt to
load "Word Perfect Office 2002" on drive C (It was on F)
the installation process tries to load a portion of the
program on Drive F, which of course it can't find. The
line where that secondary drive is listed is grayed out
and apparently cannot be changed. Is there a way to
eliminate the referrence to drive F so that the program
can be loaded.
 
You had office installed to your F: drive which you no longer have.... You will have to reinstall office to your available storage drive, which in this case if C:. Anything you had installed to your F: drive will need to be reinstalled.
 
You can also go into Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, then computer management. Then click on Disk Management in the left pane. You can delete the reference to your F drive here in the right pane. This will not harm anything as you no longer have this drive any more. Reinstall all your apps to your C drive or replace your F drive and reinstall to the new drive.
 
Disk management shows only C drive.

Ok, well then Office needs to be reinstalled. When you installed it you installed it to the F drive. Reinstall to your C drive.
 
I'd like to, but it still tries to load a portion to a
shared directory in F drive. Which is grayed out and I
cannot change.
