I have the "old" hard drive on the "new" hard drive in a folder. None of the
registries can be accessed. I have the entire suite sitting there however, it
can not be accessed because the new user, me, has not been registered. I
can't register because of the disconnect.

That's irrelevant. As Milly stated if you no longer have the qualifying
media, your upgrade licence is null and void (as you'd have known had you
STFW). Once you use an application to qualify, the two applications become
one and the licences cannot be separated. If you no longer have the QP, then
you no longer have a licence to use the upgrade. You're SOL.
You can, however, use your XP licence as a OP for Office 2003 (providing
you're running a qualifying OS - Windows 2000 SP3+, XP or 2003).
