XP won't let me install Office 2000

[Guest]

I try installing Office 200 on my HP with XP notebook and I keep getting
error messages saying it cannot read certain files. But yet, the say disks
install Office 2000 without any errors on my old notebook with Win98SE. I
have even tried to copy everything in the Office folder in the D: drive to my
C: drive but I still get error messages. Here is a list of files that it says
it cannot read: MSWORD9.OLB, OUTLLIB, WINWORD8.DOC, OUACTRL.OCX, OFREAD9,
ORG11SVR, ORG21SVR, ORGCGW10.TLB, OTUNEUP, OFFCLN9, OLKFSTUB.DLL.
Then on these next files that won't copy over the error message says:
"Cannot copy NSREX.EXE, OFFCAT.ACS, OFFCAT.ACG: Data Error (cyclic redundancy
check).
I have tried everything and had asked all kinds of experts and they are
clueless too. Any idea how I can install Office 2000? My HP notebook with XP
originally came with Corel WordPerfect 2000 installed, but I have completely
uninstalled it.
Thanks
Chris

Copying files to yr C drive will not help, and will in fact only cause
further problems.
Assuming you have sys restore point use it to restore to an earlier date,
from when you tried to install O2K.
Is the O2K disk a OEM copy or retail copy? If OEM and came with 98se sys its
possible that the disk has been configured only to install on origonal sys.
Are you able to copy the O2k cd to yr hd then install from there?
