How can I save the above to a CD?
They are now running on a drive that is screwed up and cannot access my
other drive. I can only access my other drive by selecting it in the BIOS.
Disk Manager shows it without a drive letter and all of the options are
greyed out except for Delete. So, I plan on saving or exporting them to a
CD, restarting on the other drive, and copying or importing them.
I spent the day trying to access both drives and finally gave up. I think
Outlook and favorites are the only thing left to transfer. Then I'll make
the other drive my C, and then erase this one to use as a backup.

Outlook files are located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst

You can just copy and paste 'em to a new drive I understand. In fact they
say not to use the import and export feature in the outlook groups and cite
good reasons that don't really effect me but might you so doing it the way
you will be doing it is the way they recommend...

And for your favorites:
C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Favorites

You can take the contents or you can just grab the entire folder. (Often it
looks like a Star in explorer.) And on your new computer, drive, or profile
(which ever you're doing - hard to get here) you can just import 'em the
same way you took 'em out.
