| 860561 | 2010-02-22 05:51:00 | I have a hard drive here that has come out of a dead laptop. Hard drive is fine I just need step by step instructions on how to extract the emails from it. Can anyone help please? Its Outlook Express running Win XP on the laptop. |

| 860562 | 2010-02-22 05:55:00 | If it's Outlook it will be a *.pst file. Outlook express operates on *.dbx. |

| 860566 | 2010-02-22 06:20:00 | So it looks as if the computer did have Outlook then. Search for a outlook.pst file. You can transfer this file to the new hard drive and import it into Outlook. |

| 860567 | 2010-02-22 06:38:00 | I found the files I need old dbx files from a even older installation that was backed up on the hard drive. How do I specify my outlook to look in a certain place to import dbx? it does not give me a choice. |
