    Hi All,
    OK so have an old e mach.HDD installed as a slave and i am trying to get my outlook express e mails and address book off it. But when i go to the(E)drive - program files - outlook express and click to open it opens the outlook express thats on (c) drive. I have done a search on (E) drive for .pst and .EML files and folders and came up with nothing. Can anyone please help. The old drive only runs for about 1/2 hour before the computer wont recognize it any longer and i fear i may not have another chance! :cry:confused

    Thank you,
    Dan

    .pst files have nothing to do with outlook express. .pst files are associated with Outlook, not outlook express. For outlook express, your email messages are stored in .dbx files. So, search for .dbx. Windows Address Book is a .wab file.
