Outlook Messages from old HDD

[mattaggie]

A few months ago some kind of virus or spyware screwed up XP where the lsass.exe was corrupted. It wouldl no longer boot. Windows repair would not fix it so I bought a new hard drive and installed Windows. I have the old hard drive as a secondary HD so that I can access all my old files. Does anyone know how to get Outlook Express messages that are on my old hard drive? I went into Program files, but cant seem to find anything there. They must be stored somewhere though. Thanks

Do a windows search for *.dbx,
They will be in a folder named something like this,
Documents and Settings\{User Name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Some really long random number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Then you use the import/export wizard and import the mail, you import from a store directory, browse to that path.

The *.dbx search did not find anything.

Control Panel>Folder Options>View tab>select "Show hidden files and folders" and Apply. Make sure your Search is pointed to the correct hard drive.
