    I'm trying to recover my data from a hard drive crash and am having all sorts of problems. I just got my OS reinstalled on a new drive, but am thinking of dual-booting Windows 98 and 2000. How would I do this?

    Also, I need to try and save my e-mails, but don't know where to look on the crashed drive or how to move them to the new drive.

    Are you able to get to your files on the hold HD? If so go into Outlook and goto file --> import/export and export everything or if you're like me and leave all of your email on the server you dont need to worry about doing that b/c all you do is set up outlook on your new HD and it will d/l all of your messages over again

    I had a hard drive that wouldnt boot on me last week and eventually I had to get a new one and I lost everything. HD failures can be mean.

    Don't drive to the basket, just spot up and shoot threes next time.

    That'll teach you to back up your hard drive!

    Thanks DoD. I neglected to mention I did get the dual-boot to work, but it seems I lost all of my e-mails and address book(I've looked everywhere I can think of).
