I got it. What I have to do was install mozilla on the desktop machine and then I copied the whole thunderbird folder to my desktop machine from the laptop drive and walla I have all 4 email settingd (all account being checked) all 10,000 or so emails in trash (my searchable archive) and all my inbox and folder emails. I am back in biusiness and didn't even have to use the data recovery software.
I have learned a valuable lesson here. Always print things out on paper AND backup. In the future, I will approach failed HDs like this. I boot up computer and see the drive is bad. Could be a one time thing, so restart. If it is still bad I will only power up one more time and that will be when hooked up as slave. I will see if I can get to it, if not, I would run software for data recovery. This way, it was only booted 2 times after it failed. Once to verify and one to recover. If recovery is a no go, then it gets sent to the clean room with minimum damage (I hope) Brian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter R.
