Re: I'm an iD10T, I know, but now I need to recover from it...

OK, I downloaded and installed DBXpress as suggested. Now I need to know how
I am going to retrieve the files - it asks for either a drive or a file. The
drive was deleted, but used to be assigned as "H:\"... I have not yet
re-allocated the space in the extended partition, and therefore the drive
"H:\" does not currently exist. Will this software notice that and give me
an opportunity to retrieve from the "unallocated" space, or do I have to
allocate said space and retry? I know that this is a bit much to ask of you
all here, since none of the posters up to this point are the actual creator
of the DBXpress program, but, since it was suggested so highly by you MVPs, I
thought you might also be able to provide me with at least this much
additional information before I try it blindly and potentially destroy any
chances I may have or have had at retrieval of these messages (some of which
are irreplaceable (sp?), as they were saved from years ago with valuable
information contained within them). Eagerly awaiting with yet some semblance
of hope remaining, Dusty

As I stated before, and about to restate, the registry key is already set to
zero (0), and it's not the "folder" that was deleted, but it was the actual
Logical Drive in an extended partition that was deleted. I already spent
USD24 on a piece of software that was supposed to "undelete" said drive, but
it didn't work. I am now about to spend yet another USD24 for the software
(I think it's called "DBXpress", but please don't hold me to that)
recommended by one of the posters above in this thread in a further attempt
to retrieve the dbx files from the now "unallocated" space. Somebody please
stop me if you know already if this will not work, as I don't want to spend
any more money on this, but would rather keep my pocketbook intact and at
this point I just would like to get OE back to a working state.

Again, thank you for the valuable insights and tips, but so far they have
yet to pan out for me. I hope this one will.

That error is consistent with a corrupt or missing message store folder.
Since you've already said you destroyed the folder where the messages were
stored, I'm not surprised. Try Frank Saunder's suggestion to delete the
affected registry key.

The first error I get ( a screen-capture is available for viewing at the
following URL) is:

After I click [OK], the following error comes up (again, screen capture
available for viewing at the URL below):

This additional information might be helpful, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!
