Win98 address book

by d838 May 16, 2005 10:19AM PDT

I have two hard drives in a new box, OS Windows XP. Slave hard drive harvested from old computer which ran on Win98SE OS. How can I retrieve original address book as set up in Win98 Outlook express for use in XP?

If booting the old hard drive...

while in the old 98 PC is not an option (this would be an easy way to export the add book to a file), I would search for *wab on that drive. With any luck it will open and you can export it to file and import it into XPs OE.
