Win ME to XP Home Upgrade OE Files and Folders.

[Guest]

On January 12 I noted that I lose all my OE-6 files and folders from ME when I upgrade to XP-Home. (Address Book is fine.) You folks referred me to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 313055. I followed the procedure outlined and when I click "copy" in an attempt to transfer the data, .dbx files, to the "XPmail" folder on the desktop I get the following message:

"Error copying file or folder
(X) Cannot copy File
Cannot read from source file or disc."

I have now uninstalled XP for the fourth time! Help
