You cannot install Office by copying it from one hard drive to
another. You must install from the original CD.

If your copy of Office 2003 came preinstalled on your computer by
the computer manufacturer, then you should contact your computer
manufacturer for a replacement CD (no guarantee that they will
provide it though).

If you have a retail copy of Office 2003 that you purchased at a
store and installed yourself, then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326246 "How to replace lost,
broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware".

It's not possible, you need the CD to install it. Legality aside, the
installation program does a lot more than just copy files from point A to
point B, and the necessary installation program is on the CD.
