Moving email and settings from one HD to another

I'm just about finished with my new MOBO installation and now I need to get my email going. Originally I was running 2 HD's in RAID 1. The MOBO quit and I've had to install a new one. In the process I have had to format and install a fresh XP OS on one HD and install all new programs. On the other HD is my email, many files and programs, and a unrepairable XP. Can I move my email and email settings from the HD with the bad XP OS to the other HD with the fresh XP. Actually it's my girlfriends computer and I think she used Outlook express. Where would I find Outlook Express on the old HD? I've been right clicking Start, Explore, and moving files from one HD to the other. Would this work for outlook?

Thanks

The default location for Outlook Express is:
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {a string of numbers and letters} \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express
All Outlook Express files use the .dbx extension so if you enable searching in hidden files/folder and system files/folders, you can just use the Search function with .dbx as the search keyword. If you want to just browse to folder w/o using search, you'll need to enable the viewing of hidden and system files/folders by clicking Tools > Folder Options > View and scroll down a bit until you see the circles and boxes that need to be checked or unchecked. I'm not sure about transferring your OE settings, but after you copy the emails over to a folder (put 'em on your desktop in a folder called "OE" or whatever) you'd then launch Outlook Express and use the Import function, browse to the folder called "OE" and it will import all the files.

Good luck!
