I recently bought a new computer and need to restore the saved mail and
address book from the old system. I have access to the old hard drive via a
USB external connection but I can't boot from it to run the proper backup
tool. Is there any way to simply copy files from the old drive and overwrite
the ones on the new drive to restore the old installation? They should be
very close in versions since they were created by the same install CD.

Please help, I don't want to lose the old stuff. Thanks.

Dave
