HD problem and identity crisis

G

Ginette Tremblay

I have a hard drive problem. I found out when my Entourage greeted
me this morning with a Welcome New User Message. The HD problem
basically obliterated my whole Office database. I have backed-up all
data and I am preparing to reformat the original HD. When that is done:
how can I get my old data back (all emails sent and received, list of
contacts, tasks, etc.... I know that there is a file in Microsoft User Data
called Database. It presently weights 400Kb.

Thanks for your help!

It probably didn't obliterate your identity - just lost track of it.

Go to the Entourage menu, and choose 'switch identity' - you will probably
see you old identity listed there.
