Default OE6 cannot import WAB or messages

OS- WINXP PRO sp2, Outlook Express 6, Fresh reinstall, Cannot import
messages or caddress book.
Do to serious problems with system I had to reinstall windows. I have it
configured in a multi drive configuration with the Operating System (WinXP
Pro) on drive C, the Programs on drive D, the Data on drive E, so the
Documents and settings folder etc is on E. This is the same configuration as
prior to the reinstall. I ghosted everything over to another storage drive
prior to the reinstall so I have everything backeup pretty well.
Problem:
I cannot seem to get outlook Express 6 to import the emails or the address
book from the old setup. It says it completes importing the "messages" fine
but there is nothing in the mail folders afterward. As to the WAB it shows
an error whenever I try to import it.
I have tried many different ways to do this. Could it be a problem with
identities? I do not know exactly what the old identity could have been.
