Can't transfer files from outlook

[Guest]

I have a new computer, and had my old hard drive installed as a slave. I've run the xp file transfer wizard, but can't get it to transfer the files. This is really only a problem with my Outlook files, as my computer only recognizes the new messages, and I can't find the old messages. Excell and Word pop up just fine

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Dale,

It's the way you are trying to use fastwiz, it needs to be run from within
the old system. You can't just point it to the old system folders. Put the
old hard drive back where it was (in the old system), then boot it and
insert the WinXP CD. You can use the tasks to run fastwiz, and either
transfer the file it creates by networking the machines, or if their is
sufficient space just store the backup on the old hard drive. Afterwards,
run the fastwiz on the new machine, and either select the file created via
the network, or now bring over the old drive and slave it.
