Question: I have been using Outlook Express for many years and I also own Office 2000, which contains Outlook. I want to convert from Outlook Express to Outlook, but I also want to keep the address book and copies of e-mails I have stored in “Express.” How can I switch over to Outlook and also retain all the items in my “Local Folders”?

Item No. 2: I have an external Hard Disk (Western Digital WD120B005-RNN). Something happened that won’t allow me to access the data. When I plug it into the USB port the drive appears in “Explorer” but no data shows up. I think the directory is fouled up somehow. Is there a way to correct this?
