I don't think they are corrupt I have three different ones on separate drives and the all do the same thing. The folders display but they don't ask for passwords(if needed) and only show the directory structure not the content and the inbox repair tool don't work either. I think there must be some kind of lock to do with the SAM file that prevents access on the new installation. And due to the nature of the crash on the old drive windoze wont boot nor can the sam file be repaired or replaced its only accessible via a linux utility that boots the machine without registering the drive. When the drive is registered even in dos mode the sam file is locked and cant be read write or copied.# Steve -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of John Pfaff Sent: 10 January 2006 21:07 To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [OT] Outlook:- No, that's Outlook Express. In Outlook, all emails, calendar entries, contacts, etc, are in a *.pst file.
