Had a motherboard failure, and repair centre wanted to wipe C;Drive for clean
install of Windows XP home.
I didn't want to lose my data, so got another (new) hard drive fitted instead.
Now I cannot find or retrive my outlook folder structure, messages or
address book.
And no, I hadn't backed up: the motherboard failure was stopping the CD
writer from working!!
Many thanks for any help offered
