Lost Outlook Express email and email folders

I had to reformat my C-Drive. Before doing that, I had a
second hard disk installed into my Dell PC by a Best Buy
technician, who then copied my total C-Drive on to the
new hard disk (the D-Drive). The only files that I cannot
seem to find are my Outlook Express email folders,
addresses and correspondence. I went into MS Explorer and
conducted a Search using various keywords in order to
call up the missing files. I got a lot of files with
Outlook or Outlook Express but they were operating files
not data files. I thought these files would be stored in
some default folder but I don't know what that might be.

Is there a solution to this? If so, can someone help me
figure out how to retrieve those files? I also don't
want to do anything that would invalidate my support
agreement with Dell.

If you go into TOOLS-OPTIONS-then click on the
MAINTENANCE tab, you will see button called STORE FOLDER.
This is where your files and folders are stored. Drag
your mouse over the path, and right click to copy the
path.

You want to replace the new files with the files that are
in the backup. Do do this go to the START button and
click on run. Paste the path that you copied in the box
called OPEN:, then click OK. A box will open shown your
current files and folders. Delete all these. Then copy
the files that you backed up to this same location.

Your original files and folders will be restored.

Hope this helps
