Thanks very much. I was thinking it over right before I started and it occured to me that "my" hard drive is not OEM but the one with which I was going to swap is. I guess I'm screwed. Actually, the real block for me to just swap files on the drives is the Office license on "my" hard drive. The OEM does not have office, and I can't find the disc to install and move Office files to other drive. I might just have to suck it up and buy Office again. Thanks again.
Before you purchase Office again:

Alternatively, for the budget-minded (who also don't need all of Office's specific features), there's the free, open source OpenOffice:
