– I had a laptop, with Windows xp that died but NOT its hard disk (its motherboard I was said by the repair shop);
– I acquired a new laptop, same brand but with Windows Vista already functionning;
– I’d like to know if there is any way at all to transfer my old email addresses book, at least, if not the last messages that were in my OE 6 inbox, and that I had no time to back up before the crash of my old laptop ?
– I already transfered all my other documents, easily, after I had put the hard disk of my old laptop in a case connected to a USB port of my new laptop… but if I try to open the old application Outlook Express 6 from that external drive it does not work on my new computer with Vista…
– I was thinking to use a friend’s laptop that has still OE6 on it, to connect my old HD to it (as external drive), maybe I could open my old mail in it ? at least to “see” and copy the messages I miss…(?)
