Default Upgraded Hard Drive, Now Outlook 2003 won't receive messages

We keep coming back to an error with the transfer, then.

Since I can't work with Outlook in a "send only" mode, I removed the new
drive and put the old one back. There have been no hiccups with Outlook,
Word, or Excel over the past 5 days, so I don't think anything is
corrupted.

Either of those should be perfectly capable of handling the volume label
changes. Since this has always worked before, do you think any of the
files
on the old drive might have become corrupted before you did the transfer?

No - this was Western Digital's "Data Lifguard" software. Works just
like
MaxBlast (probably the same program with a different GUI) so I wouldn't
be
surprised if it's the same problem. I'll reconnect the new drive and
see.

Lanwench suggested running "Detect and Repair" (which apparently
worked) or reinstalling Office. Unfortunately I can't do either.

When I try that, I get a message to the effect that the patch I'm
trying to access is unavailable.

Let me guess... You added a Maxtor hard drive and used MaxBlast to do
the
port. The same thing happened to me back in 2005 and the problem was
that
MaxBlast did not copy the (hidden) folder \Windows\Installer from the
old
drive. I manually copied that folder to fix the problem. I contacted
Maxtor about it, but they denied there was a problem. Since then,
I've
seen
other people also report the issue.
