I had my copy of XP get corrupt and had to reload the OS on a different hard
drive. I have my old OS corrupt drive set as the slave drive on my new
working copy of XP. Any way to find and import the mail\contact onto my new
working copy of XP
Thanks for any suggestions

Hi solyst,

This Microsoft KB article tells how to look for the information. The files
you are looking for are hidden files by default in Windows XP. Include
hidden files and folders in the search and folder view options. The second
will provide information needed to recover the data.
