Hi,

My Windows XP Home SP2 won't boot anymore. I've tried a few things but
haven't been able to start Windows. My question is how can I salvage my
Outlook 2003 data?

I can use a boot-from-CD Knoppix Linux disk to copy my files from my
laptop's hard drive to an external hard drive.

I would like to know: where can I find my Outlook folders so I can copy
them onto the hard drive? I would like to try to salvage my address
book, mail, calendar, etc. Is there any hope for my situation?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Josh

Thanks... It worked. The only thing I forgot to backup was my archived
emails (I forgot). Not that important anyway.
