The windows xp won’t load up (no idea why of course, Ive tried safemode etc). There are a few emails that I need to see.
The last time I had the (10 year old) pc did this, I asked the local pc shop to put a spare harddrive I had from a previous pc, put on linux ubuntu, so if this happened again I could at least get the files off the harddrive so they could go on a new pc.
so… I can see the duff harddrive from ubuntu and I can copy files to an external usb harddrive, which this laptop I’m using now can see.
This laptop is running windows 7. It has windows live mail, which has never been used.
Any ideas how to see old emails? I’m assuming windows live mail can convert these files if I tell it where to look. Thanks for looking.
Once I get this sorted, perhaps we’ll go onto gmail, so this isn’t a problem in the future.
