Situation: Old computer running Win2k was hit by SUV that crashed through wall. Computer won't boot (power supply busted), but hard drive is just fine. I've copied everything over to a new computer (Win XP Home). I just need Outlook Express files copied (address book, old emails, ~ 100 folders that had all that email sorted for different people, etc).
I can see the Outlook Express files in the Documents and Settings folder of the old Win2K drive while doing a virus scan. Yet WinXP won't let me see the folders or files on the drive. By clicking on properties I see there are ~200 MB of files there, but I cannot see them (even with 'show all files' selected).
How do I get them copied into Outlook Express on the new computer?
