Import From Outlook Express

[Charlie]

I installed Vista on a new hard drive and used my old hard drive as a slave
drive. The old hard drive had Windows XP Pro and Outlook Express. I have 5
years of saved messages on the old hard drive plus hundreds of contacts. I
tried the new Vista Windows Mail import process and pointd to my old Outlook
Express folder (where the inbox, sent items, etc. are), but it kept saying
that there were mo messages to import.

How do I:

1) Import my address book into Windows Mail and

2) Import my old inbox, sent items, etc, into Windows Mail.

Thanks.
