utilising Two hard drives
 

Frank,

My H/D has crashed, I think I might have been lucky enough to have changed
the store folder onto my other hard drive though, but I would have no idea
where it would have been.

In other words, I had a program drive and a data drive, the program drive
contained all my programs, including my XP, however it has crashed....if my
emails were set to be saved on my data drive, how do I locate them, so I can
reload OE and point it to that directory?

Expressing this as "...outlook express on drive A, but have the emails
saved on drive b?"
Is NOT good. Drive A and and B are floppies so the use of this
nomenclature will cause
confusion.

What you are asking is...

"...Outlook Express on drive "C:", but have the emails saved on drive "D:"
?"
The answer is YES.

By defaultt and design, Outlook Express (OE) resides in...
"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express"

What you want is the data directory to be on drive "D:" (or other hard
disk or partition).

Create a folder on Drive "D:" such as OE-Data ( D:\OE-Data )

Go to; Tools -- Options -- maintenance -- store folder -- change

Browse to; D:\OE-Data

BTW: This is exactly what I do on my computers.

Be very careful that the folder exists before telling OE to change. If you
click Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder | Change and tell it to
change to D:\OE-Data and you have not already created D:\OE-Data then you
will lose all saved messages.

Search for *.dbx files. Include hidden files in your search.
It is safer to import to a new location.

| Sorry Frank....I wasnt having a go at you.....!! You just made a comment
| about what David had written, and I was adding my comment on how pedantic he
| was!!!

My reply was not pedantic !

The fact is one can only go by what is written and you wrote Drive A and Drive B. What I
wrote was not a "correction" it is called a "clarification" for verification.

One can not assume or infer what someone posts. One needs the exact facts. What I wrote
was to bring out thes facts and if they were not correct, your reply would hopefully have
had a correction.

Additionally, oner who asks questions and gets answered should NOT be calling the one who
answered "pedantic" or any term that may be considered derrogatory. I should also note
while the News Group is English, many post where English is not the primary languange.

A final note is that this is a public News Group. There are those who read both the
questions and replies either at the time of the thread or later and what I write is meant
not only for the one who posts a question and those who read the thread.

No problem. Thanks for confirming what I thought was the case, but
wasn't sure about.

The answer is YES.

But, but, BUT, .... 'D:' is my CD/DVD-ROM drive!

Sorry, couldn't resist. :-)

Somewhat pedantic I would say............EVERYone KNEW what I was
saying....for want of a better comparison, I will use Drive 1 and Drive
2.............

I obviously understood what *you* meant. I was just making fun of
*David*, because his 'correction' wasn't one.

This was Shaz' *whole* post:

S I have two hard drives on my computer and was wanting to keep purely
S programs on one and data on the other.
S
S Is it possible to install outlook express on drive A, but have the
S emails saved on drive b?

(S)He clearly said "hard drives", so there is *no* way that anyone
(who *reads what was written*) can think (s)he was talking about
"floppies".

So, nice try, but no cigar. (In this case) Your reading was sloppy.
No big deal. Face it and move on.

In what state is your computer following this crash? Does the system
boot. Does Internet Explorer work and can you open Outlook Express?
You need to provide much more information.
