Hard drive dying!!!
One of my hard drives in my computer is dying and all my original OS files are in it. Good thing I've got them transfered to my other drive and now my computer is operating off the good one. The problem I've got now is that I haven't found how to copy all of my emails and addresses from outlook express to the good drive from the bad one. I've tried looking for the individual files that might contain them but so far no luck. I've done it with '98 in the past but now I have XP pro.

Nevermind on the emails, I did it.
Now for the address book.

If you can still access the old drive to open outlook express, do so, then open the address book. Select file, then export, then address book, save it to a new file.

I wasn't able to move all the email files after all, only some of them. Seems some of them, but not all of them, come up with access denied errors.
 They are all stored as .dbx files.

you'll have to copy all of the (inbox, sent items, deleted items, outbox, and any subfolders) .DBX files into the new identity that is created on your current OS image. You can copy them all to the new identity. You should not recieve any access denied errors unless you have the program open.

Got it all done. I had to be logged in my user profile while started up using the OS in the bad drive. It worked OK but the manufacturer of the drive is sending me a new one, covered by the warranty.
