Re: Windows XP, new install..need old stuff
I just checked...and the wizard cannot be used from (for) a backup drive..it only asked about the current "c" being the "old or New".

OK..I know the IE fav's are under documents and settings\your name\favorites. This is where they are...they do not have one particular extension in common. Usually they are IE HTML's or folder with HTML's in them...It depend on how you organized them when you put them in favorites. Just copy the entire directory to the same directory on the new HD as I said above.

It looks like you should be able to browse to another drive.. even one on a network worked for me.
So assume the old Drive is D you should be able to browse to:
D:/Documents and Settings/Your Name/Application Data/Microsoft/Addressbook
D:/Documents and Settings/Your Name/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook Express/Mail
D:/Documents and Settings/Your Name/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook Express/News
D:/Documents and Settings/Your Name/Favorites
