My Office 2007 just arrived. But it came on DVDs. But I don't have a DVD drive. Short of buying a drive I don't otherwise need, is there any way to install it? I must have it installed in two days.

2.Create a image of the Data on the disk
3.Slave/Make youre drive Secondary drive in another machine that has a DVD drive and install OFFICE 07 on youre drive

Thanks for the spam happynow2

Anouther alternative is to download the image of the cd you have just recived and use a bit of software you will have to google for as i am not sure of the legality of it and just read the image directly.

With this "bit of software" mount the image as a drive and use your cd key.

Easier way would be to get a £12 dvd drive and use that..... At least you have one then and pretty much all media is on dvd's now anyway.

I borrowed a USB DVD drive from a colleague.
