No,

That is why I installed XP. During a win2K fix system
stalled AFTER wiping my 2k OS. I still have all th files
excert windows... i can access the outlook files in
Documents and settings but none of them seem to do the job.
Any ideas would be apreciated... restore back up is not an
option..

Hi,

All you can do is import the messages. You will have to restore the accounts
manually.

Make sure the folders are not "read only" by right clicking on them.
If this is not the case, you may have to take ownership of them, before
you can import them, which is what I had to do when installing a new
drive recently.
From the Help menu :-
To take ownership of a file or folder

1.. Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the file or folder you want
to take ownership of.
2.. Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click
the Security tab.
3.. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
4.. In the Change owner to box, click the new owner.
5.. (Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects
within the tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects
check box.
