Default copy address book to new computer

regarding the post pasted below...Please kindly advise if anyone can assist
me a bit further in a very simular situation. I have paid the geek squad at
my local office depot to copy / burn my entire outlook including favorites,
and etc. to a cd which I thought would give me easy access to simply copy to
my new pc.

I have had very same problems as the person below and I was wondering if
someone would be so kind as to advise exactly where do I copy the content on
the cd to when you say to the hard drive? I have tried and have had no
luck... Help!

Can you take a moment and write it out for me in baby steps. I simply don’t
have any more money to give to the office depot / geek squad and need to get
everything set up before I get fired. Please help.

Signed confused computer user.

need to uncheck that before I can be allowed access to the file?


You need to copy the file to the hard drive, then change the copy to uncheck
the read only attribute. That's why it says you don't have permission:
Outlook needs read/write access to the file and CDs are always read-only.
Outlook cannot access a PST on a CD. Brian Tillman
