Great recovery almost done. Need help with one last step.

You didn't have your profile folders encrypted, did you?
If you did, anything in Documents and Settings will be unrecoverable unless you reinstall over the existing Windows installation using the same name and password.

i didnt specifically change anything from the default. i believe the default for .pst file is "Compressible Encryption". however, that is just the .pst file and not the whole folder. any ideas how i can get into the folder?

This Linux stuff is great! I use the bootable cd to save almost all of my files after a hard disk crash on my laptop and following a "nothing we can do" answer from the mfg support line. The only files not yet recovered are my Outlook Expreee messages and addresses. Can somewone tell me where they are in Windows and how to save/restore them once I install my new hard drive. Once again; LINUX IS GREAT!!! I think I'll switch over once I get everything going again. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
