My old (not really that old) Compaq died on me. I bought a new Dell. I wanted to keep the info on the Compaq so I installed its hard drive in my Dell as a secondary. I got all my pic's which is what I really wanted. But I cannot find my old address book contacts. When I go to WAB in outlook express, I only get the new contacts on C drive. I have no idea where to look for the old list. Also does any one know if I get a new motherboard for my compaq will I be able to just install my hard drive back in it and start it up or will there be problems arrising from puting it in the Dell? Both computers are/were running Windows XP.
Thanks
