Outlook Express question
Is it possible to save/import emails and the address book from Outlook Express by pulling them off a non bootable harddrive?
Here's my problem. A friend of mine's HD crashed the other day and ended up with a corrupt boot sector and possible other problems which left her unable to boot up Windows even in safe mode. I convinced her to just buy a new HD and helped her get everything set back up. I was able to pull her files off the old HD so pretty much nothing was lost except her emails and address book. I have not been able to find a way to retrieve them off the old HD. Unfortunately since I cannot boot up from the old drive I can't just do a simple backup/restore. Is there a way to still retrieve the emails and address book? |

Search the drive for DBX files - use the Outlook Express "Import" function on them.
All sorted.
