Zooter Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I ran into a little problem. I plan on reformatting the hard-drive on my Vaio because ... ... well just because it needs to be done. Since that will delete all the data on the drive, I've been copying every single freaking file onto my external. But, I need to save my address book and old e-mails in Outlook. Exporting all the data to a file is not working, so I need some other way of accessing/saving that data. What can I do?? Please help. Thanks.

King Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Re: Microsoft Outlook Help First go to outlook and archive all the mails into the .pst file. archive.pst is the default name and when you archive your mails in outlook. After you have rebuilt your HDD and reinstalled outlook use the import function in outlook to import the mails from the archived .pst file. :wtg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooter Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Re: Microsoft Outlook Help Nice. Thank you. The reason I need to reformat is cause I had my computer store (a long time ago) build me my computer with 2 partitions. The C drive was my Windows drive but those morons only gave me about 6 gigs of space. Over the years, numerous patches and downloads (all Windows related) by themselves have amounted to about 6 gigs worth of sh*t. I don't have ANY OTHER DATA on that drive. All my music, movies, porn everything is on my D partition. And still, ... I only have like 250 megs free on my C partition--which is not enough to do anything.

King Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Re: Microsoft Outlook Help Yeah the windows itself will hog about 1 - 1.5 Gigs. 4 Gigs aren't much space these days, about 4-5 software can use up that kind of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
