Outlook Express email msgs

i have a 10gb, 45gb and 120gb hard drives. My 10gb is my c drive and it's getting kind of full, even tho all programs, etc are installed on the other hd's. So I'd like to reinstall windows onto the 45gig hd and give the 10gb to my sister-in-law. What do I do about my Outlook Express 6 email messages? How the heck do you save/move them to a floppy....I have tons of mssgs so copying each and every one is out. All my programs and such can just be reinstalled. My email messages are all I'm really concerned about. I did try to search thru the past forum posts to find something but they all said something about either finding the *.dbx files (can't find even when enabling to show all folders in the folder options) or going to docs/settings/xxxx/local setttings or something and there's nothing there like local whatever so I'm lost. Help anyone? Thanks!
