Window's Mail files to Outlook Express

I have replaced Vista Ultimate with Windows 2000 Server ... on a HP m8120n, taking the easy way out and replacing the primary hard drive.

I can load the "Vista Drive" as a slave and move or copy files such as word documents but, is there a way to transfer the Address Book entries ... "Contact" files to either Outlook or Outlook Express?

The same question applies to the email messages themselves, though I don't know either the extensions or locations of those files.

Thanks!

I would disconnect the Win 2000 Server drive - power up and enter BIOS, change your bootable hard drive back to Vista (the slave drive) save changes and you should ! see Vista back. (Inncorrect bios entry may stop your computer !!)

Now copy your word documents on a USB memory stick(just in case !!), Open outlook xpress (offline) and copy address book - use import/export - Email Stoarge - and send/save in memory stick - you can also copy all your emails (file them in new folders for INBOX & SENT- and export them to memory stick - they will appear saved as .dbx files with no details -

Power off - connect Win 2000 Drive back, change in BIOS as bootable drive - power up - open outlook xpress - import the .dbx files from stick one at the time (inbox) (Sent) and place. You can also do the same to your address book.

One more tip - when saving your word files try to save them in an older version of word if you can - good luck !!
