Office 2000 won't install sp1

This is a discussion about Office 2000 won't install sp1 in the Windows Software category; Hi. Office 2k sp1 just repeatedly prompts for my office 2k cd even though it's in the cd drive. Anyone got or heard of a patch (read 'crack') for this?.

It's not an issue if you own a legit copy of Office 2000

Really? Amazing then that BOTH the Select version of Office 2000 and the retail distribution both gave me the same problem.

Well all installed fine on my copy of Office 2000 prem.
It wanted to 'see' the original CD's during installation (or was it just after)
Had no problems since.

Woah, chill man.
At any stage did I start 'spewing anti-piracy crap'?
No, so calm yourself down eh?
All my post syas is that my legit copy of Office 2000 has accepted the SP1a.
As it looks like the original poster doesn't have a legit copy, and the fact that MS said it would have problems on non-legit software that was my assumption.
