| 205892 | 2004-01-07 21:55:00 | If you have upgraded to Win XP your folders and files should still be on your hard drive, probably on the same partition as Windows (usually C: ) under Documents and Settings|UserName. Do a search on the HDD for your *.pst and *.doc files after enabling Show Hidden Files and Folders under Tools/Folder Options/View in Windows Explorer. | Fire-and-Ice (3910) | ||
