Post subject: New HDD old files? Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook (more info?)
I have just installed a new hard drive. I reinstalled Office 2003 on the new
drive and configured my e-mail. Now I have put the old drive in as a "slave"
to my new hard drive. I am trying to get my e-mail and contacts from my old
installation on the old drive. I have had no luck so far. I was not able to
create backups before I put the new drive. Computer power supply crash
issue.
So how can I access the old files on the old hard drive?

You will probably have to 'take ownership' see win help. then simply open
your old data file within outlook and copy stuff from old to the new data
file

Did the PS crash affect the (old) hard disk? I've had a burned PS (loud
*pop* + smoke and stinking burned smell) that killed the HD as well.

So you've connected the old HD as slave but you didn't say what happened
when you accessed the data. Can you access the data?
