lost e-mail

[david]

I had a problem with my win 98 machine so i got xp pro
and installed it over top of win 98. Well not knowing
that it basically erases all of your programs i opened my
outlook 2000 up and it told me i have to reintall the
program. So i did that, and to my surprise all of my e-
mails were gone. Is there any way to get all of those e-
mails back.

Look for files with a .PST extension -- a .PST file contains all Outlook
data including messages, contacts, appointments, notes, etc. WinXP hides
Outlook data files by default, so make sure to search in hidden and system
folders.

Look here for all the information you need on backup and restoration of
Outlook data:
