Hi, Just upgraded a computer from ME to XP Pro, no
warning messages - good install all the way. When XP
fired up for the first time..no email messages,No my
documents files available,etc, Can't find them
anywhere...Can anyone tell me if these files are
recoverable and if so HOW????..

Thanks in advance.
 
Heh, heh, upgrades...

Microsoft is not known for the best upgrades, especially
when transitioning from 9x to NT, two terms the end user
may never see again. I hope you had either a IMAP server,
backups, or worthless email. To set up email again, you
need to go to your ISPs website and follow the posted
instructions. Your messages may be stored under an old
account. Look for a backup that Outlook Express can
restore.

The documents are likely stored in c:\my documents. The
was the 9x style when in single user mode (at least in 95,
98, 98se). Your current documents are stored in
c:\documents and settings\user name\my documents.

Remember to convert the drive over from FAT32 to NTFS if
you are happy with XP.
