My old Machine finally died. They would have to spend $300 rebuilding my motherboard or I'd spend a week of hell setting up this important machine that I am writing a book on for the past three years. I had them remove the two hard drives at FRY's and for $60 they did a "hard Disc to hard disc" data transfer. I ended up with two lousy folders that contained all of each disc's info. But just try to get at that info! Five day's work and TWO calls to HP in India at least organized it for me. Four trips back to FRY's helped a little at a time. HP scraped the AOL out of my computer but it took a while. AOL had instaled blockers (or something) that prevented me from using other people's (like Micosoft) stuff. (See y I don't use them?) I am almost computer illeterate. All I want to do is retrieve my address book, that's all. Important stuff. "Search" shows hundreds of hits. All blank except for the few I installed from memory last night. What do I do? Please explain in layman's terms.

try searching the drive for ... *.wab
this should help you find the windows address book file.

Need more info. On the old drive, what were you using as an email program, Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird or what ?
