I am planning to change my HD in my nice little old iBook to a huger HD (min
60 MB) and update my OS form 9.0.4 to the latest release of OS/X. As I plan
to upgrade to Office / X as well my question. How can I transfer all my data
fron old Entourage 2001 to the new HD so that Entourage X will continue
working where I stopped with Entourage 2001.

Answers per email would be grately appreciated

Even though I never had to do that myself, I think all you have to do is
move your current Office 2001 ENtourage identity to the Microsoft User
Data folder in your account in MacOS X. That should do the trick,

First of all, when you switch hard drives, be sure to save the "Microsoft
User Data" folder, which is located in HD:Documents. That is where all of
your Entourage data is stored.

Unfortunately Corentin's method won't work because Entourage 2001 and
Entourage X use different database formats. Instead you need to import your
Entourage 2001 data into Entourage X. When you first launch Entourage X
you'll be asked if you want to import from another application - choose to
do so from Entourage 2001, locate your Office 2001 identity in your old
Microsoft User Data folder, and import. All of your data will transfer
seamlessly into Entourage X.
