Office for mac 2008 (Entourage)

Having problems with Entourage (v12.01) falling over on regular basis. Have tried upgrading with service pack 2 and get following message:
installer: Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled.
installer: A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume.
Tried the install from a terminal after booting in safe mode.

Using disk Utility get message:
======================
Starting Scan
====================
ERROR: Corruption detected on index [MLRC:1]
======================
Scan Ended
====================
I purchased my iMac OS X 10.5.8, on line from Macintosh with Office pre-installed. Have been advised to reinstall, but don't know where to get a copy of the discs. 

Any help gratefully accepted.
