My operating system bacame corrupted beyond my ability to fix it the other day. I tried the XP Recovery Console (scndsk /r) repeatedly and while it said it repaired the system files, I still could not get it to boot up. So I bought another drive and installed XP, Office XP, and all of the updates as well as my antivirus. Then I stuck the old drive in as a slave at which time it showed up in explorer as drive F:, scanned it with the antivirus, and when it came up clean, I found all of my files or at least the stuff that was most important to me, and moved it all over to the new drive. OK, so there’s the background of it in a nutshell. Now here’s the problem. I don’t know how to find and retrieve all of my hundreds of emails, plus the list of stored email addresses in the old drive. The addresses were stored automatically by Outlook whenever I replied to an email. I mention this because I’m not sure if that makes a difference since I didn’t really enter the maybe 100 or so email addresses into the “Contacts” or “Address Book” manually. Outlook just “remembered” them. Now that I think of it, I’d like to get all of my stored passwords and such back from the “autocomplete” feature too. Can anyone point me to a solution?
Please and thanks!! 🙂
