Hi all have been having many problems with this PC, but hopefully all is well now.
I had to get a new hard drive as the other one stopped loading windows, but all the files are ok !
Thing is I have them both up and running, is there any way I get get the E-mail Messages that I had in Outlook Express from the old drive to the new one before I wipe the old one ?
Thanks

Yes there is, Type in inbox in to search and make sure you have show system files enabled and once the search is finished right click on inbox and choose open containing folder and copy those files in that folder and go to the same folder on the current setup and paste them into it. That will put your messages in your current setup.

You are looking for the inbox dbx files on the old setup and putting them on the new one.
