151447 2003-06-10 03:17:00 Hi,
I have installed a new hard drive and want to import my address book and messages from my old hard drive .
both are in the computer and the new one is master.
I am running win98 se and i can not find the address book or messages on the old hard drive ie the import wizard won't find them.

is there a way of doing it without making the old one the master again and copying them to disk??

any help would be appreciated.

Neil

Next, open up Outlook Express (Provided this is your email client, you didnt say) and Click on Tools
-Options
Click on the Maintenance tab
Check where the files are Located in the OE Store Folder, and import them from the same location on your old HDD :-)
