Disappearing address book

[dadspeed]

I copied address book wab from hard drive A(80gib), to floppy, installed
hard drive B(120gib) master, both hd has win XP,along with OE, ver 6, and
word 2000,

Attached A hard drive as read only,

Now if I select the address book on floppy it will not read the old address
but the new address book. In OE and word I see the new address book

How can I read my old address book and copy to new hard drive.

Copy the WAB file from the floppy to the new hard drive (suggest Desktop for
convenience).

Remove the Read Only attribute it will have by default.

Open your new Address Book: File > Import > Address Book (WAB) > point the
wizard to the Desktop (file) > ...

Ask in an appropriate newsgroup that has OUTLOOK EXPRESS or OE in the
title. This group is for the XP OS. Bye bye now!
