easy solution? reformatt your HDD after backing up all your files, then run ONE os to make things less complicated.

Hey now, how do we know he didn't just damage his Office 07 disk, and just get the copy from his friend to replace it? :roll:

Looks like he's totally screwed up his PC...
A fresh installation would probably be best, unless he has any really important files on his PC (which are probably erased anyway).

@ satsta: do you have a PC store nearby? Not something like Officeworks or whatever; you want a proper PC repair store. If you do, then go there and explain your situation, and ask if they can recover any files from your hard drive (you'd need to take your PC along with you for this).
If they can, then let them do their stuff. If they can't, then go find a Vista disk and install it onto your PC. You'll have lost all your files, but that's your own fault for not backing up!

He never stated that. He stated his friend's copy. I usually go with what people say to be honest.

well, im talking from my other computer........... the thing is i never liked getting pirated things..... im not interested in them..... but when my freind said he has one then the temptations came over me which lead me to total disaster !!!

i dont know, probably repairing my system using the vista disk might help if not then the final solution is formatting and installing again !
