Hi,

I am formatting the partition and deleting it and reinstalling Windows XP.
It is currently in Fat 32 and I am changing it to NTFS.
However, I have a query if anyone can help me.
I can export all my messages and contacts from Outlook Express to Microsoft
Outlook. But, if I am going to format the hard drive then I will lose
Microsoft Outlook and therefore all the messages I want to keep that I am
exporting.
How do I do it and keep all my e-mails and contacts ?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards
 
Forgot this ---- Make sure you save the .pst file to a cd or another hard
drive that will not be formated.
 
you can export your contact as a csv file from oe6 and then import them back
once you are ready, i think you will have to save the e-mails one by one and
then import them back again,

You could create some partitions and dedicate the C: partition to O/S
and application software. Then use something like Forte Agent for
emails which is self contained and may be based completely in one of
your data partitions. With this regime you can delete everything in
the C: partition without touching any data at all. Better still take
an image of your C: partition and restore it at will without
compromising any data.

hi,

Great info guys, thanks.
However, one question if that is oK
I have been on the lazyadmin.com and I am unsure of what to select for the
file to import. There are Lotus ones etc. and I know it is not them but
which on is it ? I do not recognise what I am looking for.
 
Cheers Guys.
However, I do not have a CD rewriter !!!
can I save the pst. file to floppy ?
 
The .pst file will be too large for a floppy. Could you borrow someone's
external zip drive or external hard drive ?
