reformat hard disk

[dennis]

I'm going to reformat my two hard disks and reinstall
everything. I want to make sure I can save my mail
folders, the items in them, and my address book.
Furthermore I want to recover them after reinstalling.
By recovering them, I mean I want the folders in the same
places. What's in the indox now will be in the inbox
after reinstallation. I have a Ken folder now. I want
the Ken folder after reinstallation, in the same place.
How can I do this? If I can't do this, what's the
closest I can get?

I'll be grateful for any help.

Dennis

Make a copy of your .PST file (which holds all your mail, contacts, tasks,
appointments, etc.) and re-use that file in Outlook when you get it set back
up again. Look at the following two articles for help with this -- one is a
primer on Outlook files, and the other gives instructions for moving to a
new Outlook 2002 or 2003 machine. (If you're using an older version of
Outlook, the steps might be a little different -- post back if you need
help.)
