Retrieving Messages from Outlook Express

[Outlook Express Messages Transfer]

I have two HDDs. One for Programs and one for Data. My WIN XP O/S failed on
the Program HDD so I installed it onto the Data HDD. How do I retrieve my
email messages from the Progam HDD ?

Try to import the (*.pst) file or search for them on the Programs HDD (C:\)
and import them when you find them to the inbox on the data HDD (D:\ - second
partition!)

OE doesn't have PST files, nass.
