missing MAINSP1op.msp

I installed a new, larger Seagate HD and used their utility to move the old
HD image to the new drive which is now the C:
Both Windows (XP w/sp2) and Office Pro (2003 w/sp2 etc) have missing cabs -
which are also now missing from the original drive when searched or even when
subbed back as the C: drive. I think I fixed windows but on starting any
Office app I get a message that it is defective and to run repair but the app
will then open and work apparently normally.

On running repair it fails looking for

MAINSP1op.msp in C:\Program Files\OfficeUpdate11\Cabs\511735\
There is no such file.

I can't even find this install file on any other identical computers I
search on my small network so I can just paste it in.

I've tried
1) using OFFICE11 setup to repair which fails after opening a few cabs,

2) running the full admin version of SP1
(Office2003SP1-kb842532-fullfile-enu) and 3) running the full admin version
of SP2 (Office2003SP2-KB887616-FullFile-ENU) - both of which start extracting
cabs and then say they can not install.

Hi,

Mostly when you bring major changes to your hard-ware/software, Office
installation might get corrupted.
If you do have the Office discs, try removing Office from your machine
completely and then try re-installing it.

You could use the following tool to remove Office if it fails to remove
through Add/Remove Programs.
