I written this question before but can't figure out how to
see if anyone has answered me.
*had an old Windows ME system that died. Couldn't restart.
*got new XP system.
*put old hard drive in another Windows 98 (dos based
system)on the network.
*Recreated Microsoft Outlook on new XP system.
*Old e-mails with valuable info in old system drive
*trying to figure out how to move them over.
*Know it has something to do with Application Data files.
*Old drive Application files look different than XP
Application files.
*How do I move the old files over to the new machine and
will be able to open old mail in new Outlook?
Please e-mail me answer if you can at (e-mail address removed)

You need to copy your *.pst file(s) from the old computer to the new
one. Since it/they will be quite large, you'll probably have to use a
CD to copy them. Then, transfer them onto your new system and make
certain that the read only attribute is off before trying to access
the *pst files.

Good luck!
