icons and program files lost office 2003

I installed a new hard drive after transferring all files. My desktop icons
for all office products are different and when I look up the office programs
under start-all programs and microsoft office, it lists the fiolder as empty.
The problem is that under c drive, I can access all the programs. Any ideas
on how to get the programs to re-list under start-program and refresh icons
to normal?????
thanks

do i need to uninstall and rinstall fully to get this corrected? Why would
the files be still on the hard drive but not listed in my programs?
thanks

In a nutshell it's because just copying the files across does not make
all the registry entries. The install process creates the necessary
entries to make everything work properly.
