Import Msg.files From External Harddisk
Apr 8, 2009
Our new computer vista home premium, I use windows mail as e-mail (no outlook avaible because I only have Office home/studend edition). On old computer (windows xp) I used Outlook, I copied al my e-mails to an external harddisk, so now I try to open the mail (on ex. harddisk) and can't open them because they are all msg files (?) I searched every where if it is possible to open these files. If I change the extension to open them (e.g. word etc.) it is still abacadabra for me. Maybe I had to change the extension of the e-mails before I copied them to ex.harddisk??? Old computer is gone already so I have a "problem" now. I don't know I this is the right communitie

My computer died with Windows XP on it. I had the hard drive put in an external case and have found the message files. Is the easiest way to get the messages and address book to install Outlook Express and import it over? Where can I buy one or can I use my old one from my other hard drive.

I recently had my main laptop "crap" out and had the hard drive put onto an external hard drive. I have many contacts, folders and e-mails that I need to put into Windows Mail on my backup laptop but for some reason I can't import them due to permission access? Can anyone help me please get this figured out?

I have windows xp pro and vista on my computer. I find I like OE 6.0 on my xp pro to be much faster than windows mail, and I need to switch to windows mail. Unfortunately, i have several accounts on windows mail, and I have forgotten their passwords. So I exported each account in windows mail, and have saved the internet account settings (in *.iaf files). When I use the import function in OE 6.0 (Tools->accounts->Import), it won't let me import any account settings. I don't remember the passwords of a few of those accounts (which currently work with windows mail), but I need to create such accounts in OE 6.0. Is there a way I can migrate account settings in windows mail to OE 6.0?

I am trying to transfer files from my old computer hard drive using an usb 2.0 enclosure. My new computer is running Vista, the old hard drive is running xp. When I plugged it in, my computer sees it as a mass storage device, but I cannot access nor see any files on the old hard drive. I'm getting kinda frustrated, I tried to link the two computers via ethernet that didn't work. My old computer has motherboard issues and the usb ports don't work. And it will not burn dvds it errors out, so I couldn't transfer my info that way. Am I doing something wrong here? Can someone give me some advise?

I bought an HP Pavilion DV7-3020sa a week ago which has 2 HDD areas but only
1 HDD fitted.
I have bought an identical HDD to the one already installed to fit into the
2nd drive slot but cannot find anywhere where I can buy the lead to connect
it to the mainboard.
Having now tried over 15 companies, including HP, I am becoming frustrated.
Does anyone know where the lead can be purchased?
It is a SATA socket on one end and a very very small plug on the other and
is only around one inch long. (Please note that it does not connect directly
to the mainboard in the usual clip-in method, it does have a small cable!)

Recently I upgraded my computer. I have some hidden files on my external from my old system (XP). I cannot, for the life of me get these files to open.
Here is what I have tried:
- Changing ownership (after disabling the easy sharing folder option)
- Working with the admin command prompt (every time it said the folder on my external was a bad or syntactically incorrect entry).
- Changing user permissions.
- Logging in on safe mode and trying the above things.
The files show up as green text, and even after all of these attempts (and copious head-against-wall banging) I cannot open the files. Every program I try to open them with says “You do not have permission to access this file”. A similar message is displayed every time I try to move or change the files.
I have been able to open a few of the files (since the problem began) even though they do not seem to be different file types or status’.
I read a few threads similar to this, but every method has failed, and my problem seems a little different given the XP to Vista nature of the problem and the green text nonsense.

I have Windows XP 2003 with service pack 1 on it. I wanted to transfer itunes, pictures and my documents to my newly purchased laptop (Vista). I had a simpletech ex. hard drive that i kept my stuff on from my old computer. Well I tried to take that hard drive that was in sync with my old computer and plug it into my new laptop through a usb port and my laptop didnt recognize it at all. I tried to figure it out for hours and nada.
so later i re-plugged my hard drive back into the old computer through usb port thinking, I wonder if it will read it on there still?, and it doesnt recongize it there now either. what do I do? did my hard drive fail? and i s.o.l now because i tried to transfer files, pictures and music from windows xp to vista without doing microsofts easy transfer program?

My laptop's HD seems to have a major bad block. When trying to read certain files the disk always starts clicking and making strange and rather disturbing noises for about 2 minutes before the system fails and I get a blue screen.Fortunately most of these files seem to be in a directory that I only kept "just in case" anyway, i.e. there would be no =
major harm, if these file are lost. I only noticed, that these are corrupted, when trying to read them while making a backup. Alas, that backup never fully ran through due to the problem described.
I am thus seeking a program that tries to read the entire disk (and does not crash, if it gets errors...) and marks files that contain unreadable blocks such that the OS doesn't try to access these any more. As far as I know that should be possible. I once read that there is some kind of bad block list somewhere. Ideally it would also try to read damaged files a certain number of times (e.g. 1000 times or so) trying to recover as much data as possible and if it was able to read entire files it copies their content over to greener pastures. That would allow to minimize the actual data loss.

My laptop broke. It no longer has any power to it...without spending money to confirm, I believe the motherboard is bad and all is lost. I know I can get an external HD to retrieve my photos & files from the computer buit what about my Windows Mail? I had 200-300 emails on it (and no, I didn't save a copy on the server 'cause I didn't know better). Do I understand correctly that there is no way for me to forward them into Windows Mail on my new computer?

Recently I had a crash while I was playing a game, so I rebooted manually because I had too. From that time, when Vista boots, my harddisk makes a weird loud noice everytime before entering loginscreen and my boottime is extended with +-20sec. I've figured out myself that since the crash ,I watched a startup log and saw that Vista does a quick chkdisk, which would explain the extra noise my HD does just before booting. I've tried everything , from checking for a dirty-bit , disabling autochkddk to even formating my system. But every time my system crashes, the next time it boots , my HD makes a weird noise.

Is it possible to import directly from an Outlook data file (.pst)? The wizard seems to only work if you have an active installation, which I do not after upgrading from XP to Vista 64 (along with a new motherboard, processor and memory). I had the older version of Office Home and Student that came with Outlook, but Office 2007 Home & Student does not.

My old PC had Outlook (or Outlook Express) and I saved off the emails by selecting them all and dragging them to a folder on my network. Doing this creates an msg file for each email. Now, like I've done many times in the past, I would like to import them into the emailprogram of a new laptop. So I dragged the msg files into Vista Windows Mail and instead of importing the messages it creates a brand new email with these msg files as attachments! The only reason I save email in this manner is because Microsoft really dropped the ball when it came to transferring email from one PC to another. I forget which it was but either Outlook or Outlook Express was so bad it was a disaster. This method always worked so this is what I've decided to do. Now it looks like Microsoft's found a way to f*** this up too.

Running Outlook 2003 on Vista Business. Have copied outlook express folder from old PC to C: on Vista. Import says "Cannot open mail folder". I imported into Windows Mail so it isn't a security problem, as the folder and all subfolders/files are owned by the user who has full control of the folder and files. What can the problem be? Is it because there is no email acount set up as yet?

I'm running Vista home premium 64bit. New computer, new operating system I wanted to import some pics from my camera (nikon D300) and noticed that there is no longer a "camera, photo, scanner wizard" like XP had. I decided to try and use the windows live photo gallery. I picked the groups I wanted to copy off of my camera. Gave them a name or tag. Went to import options and choose my writable drive to import them to. I get this box: options/import options: you cannot import to this folder. Choose another location. I have tried both a CD / DVD, and I know there is room. I went into windows explorer and manually copied the pics to the writable drive so I know its working. So my question is: Why wont Windows live photo gallery let me save my photo's off of my camera to my writable drive?

I'm installing a brandnew Vista Home machine and like to import all e-mails from the old Vista Home computer (both on Windows Mail). The old computer has gone south, but there is an image (on an external hard-drive) of drive C: and on mounting that image, I'm having access to all files. Don't know where to search and how to proceed that "import" of all e-mails and all addresses (no newsgroups).

When I select Outlook in the import wizard a message box opens staitng that "e-mail cannot be imported from a MAPI client. MAPI is not installed or there was an error starting MAPI" What's the problem here? Do I need to install MAPI for indowsVista / Windows Mail and if so how?
