Default Problem importing mail

I've just formatted my HD and saved my identities folder to CD before doing
so..
The problem I now have is when I import my inbox.dbx, once it reaches
message 57 of 138, it stops then congratulates me and says everythings been
successfully imported...Is there any other way I can access my missing mail?
Thanks
Kerry

Create an 'old inbox' folder in OE.
Copy one message into old inbox.
Rename the saved inbox.dbx to old inbox.dbx.
Move old inbox.dbx to the OE store folder.
Single Folder:

You cannot import from a CD, since files on a CD have the Read-Only
attribute set. Copy the files to a folder you create on your Desktop, then
right click them and clear the Read Only attribute (under Properties). Then
open Outlook Express and try the import.
