Replacement for lost 2000 Office SBE CD

[Guy A.]

I have lost my original 2000 Office SBE CD, and I cannot
download any upgrades. I need to download Service Pack SR-
1a, and then download Service Pack SP-3, but the system
requires that I insert the original CD into the computer
before the installation can proceed. Is there a
replacement available for my original 2000 Office SBE CD?
I checked with the manufacturer of my computer, Dell, but
my computer was built in 1999 and they have no replacement
CD's. I tried to contact MSN, but I have been unable to
locate the right department which might be able to help
me. Can anyone suggest any solution to my problem? Thank
you.

The easiest solution is to find a friend with the same version of Office2K
SBE(preferably on that came with a Dell, just to be sure) and burn yourself a
copy. Since there is nothing on any MS CD that ties it to a specific Product
Key, you'll be able to use your PK with the copy and do whatever you wish. If
you haven't properly saved your PK, you can go to www.aida32.hu and download
the free aida32, Enterprise Ed. and it will display your key for you.
