Select the desired .eml files and drag/drop them into whatever folder
you've created in Outlook Express to store them. Please do not drag/drop
them to the Inbox, but create as many new local folders as you desire to
contain them within Outlook Express. Nice to hear that all worked.

As you probably recall, you have responded to my Internet Newsgroup thread
regarding my recent stupid mistake and my OE store folders and the loss of
functionality of my MSOE.

You stated that I should pursue further help direct from you via e-mail,
well here it is.

I did the following since last post to said thread:

1.) I re-created and formatted partition "H:\" as NTFS, as it was before;

2.) I ran the DBXpress tool, set to retrieve from Drive with input being
"H:\" and output being "Z:\EMAIL-TEMP", and did NOT select the "Recover
Mode
for Deleted Items". The program ran and ran all night.

3.) Upon awakening this morning I go to check on it and it states that it
is
finished. However, to my disbelief, there are no files in either location
that I can see, and I have (always have) set my view options to show all
files, whether they have hidden or system attributes.

4.) I made a screen-capture of the program and it is available for viewing
online at this URL:
http://tinyurl.com/mbegn
(of course, it is a capture of AFTER it is completed, and the program now
shows "File" as being the input, although I don't know why it would revert
to
that, since, as stated before, I ran it with the option of "Drive"). I
notice the status window stating the results, but I have yet to see those
files anywhere; am I missing something here?

I am still somewhat afraid to attempt opening Outlook Express for fears
that
any attempt to do so may further exasperate the problem at hand, if not
simply wipe out any chances I may still yet have at retrieval of this
data.
I am grateful for your continued guidance and patience in this matter, and
now I think I simply just need to know where to go from here. I am using
the
web-interface for HoTMaiL, so that I can still send and receive
communications, but as I believe I have stated before, most of my
communications have been in OE and some of the stored information is more
than five years old and data from that time-period is not replaceable.
Your
answer to this e-mail is going to determine my next step(s). Thank you in
advance; you have already given me a glimmer of hope back in this
disaster-like situation.

Sincerely yours truly,

Sorry, I replied via the fake email address in a link Jim sent me and not
via the NGs.

Any discussion of DBXpress by clients should be restricted to email
between
me and the client, as this NG is not for support of 3rd party programs.

But as I indicated, you need to repartition the space where the dbx files
were (you don' t need to try and recovery the partition, just repartition
the space). Then format it and assign a drive letter. Then run DBXpress
in
its extract from disk function and select that drive letter and do NOT
check
recover mode. Then set the output to a different drive and click
extract.
You should recover most if not all of the messages that were lost.

If you have further issues, then email me directly rather than posting
here.

cheers,

steve

In this message I see no attached note from Mr. Cochran - should I be
looking
elsewhere, such as in my E-mail?

That was a typo on my part. I meant to type DBXpress which is what
you
said
you had purchased. I'm attaching a note from Steve Cochran for your
added
info, so please review his recommendations.

I used the Disk Management console (again, a screen capture is
viewable
at
the URL below) and deleted the Logical drive that used to be labeled
as
"H:\".

I purchased DBXpress, as stated above, Not DBXtract. They are, in
fact,
separate programs.

This seems to be turning into a tail-chase for me. So far none of
the
answers are complete enough to use from start-to-finish, and/or make
reference to separate programs entirely, which, in turn, are
separate
purchases. I don't want yet another cost added to this. IF
retrieval
of
the
data can't be done, simply say so, as I am willing to "bite the
bullet"
and
start with a fresh DBX store, but only if it absolutely cannot be
done
in
any
other way.

Please don't think I doubt your technical prowess in this matter,
but
it
does get confusing when you switch between referencing one program
to
another
mid-stream.
