How can you run Outlook, IE, and Mozilla from a detached 80 gb hard
drive?  I spilled water on my main laptops keyboard (it is an
Thinkpad), and the tech support people took out the hard drive so I
could save my data. The hard drive works perfect and I was able to
back up my files, but not my e-mail messages, bookmarks, and
favorites, because whenever I try to open up the programs on the
external drives, it opens them up on the main hard drive instead. I
was told that I cannot run programs from that hard drive on my main
laptop on another computer. Because I did not have time to export my
Outlook messages on my main laptop (I turned it off immediatly after
water got on it), is there any way for me to do that? My main laptop
had XP Pro and my older one is an HP Pavilion with XP Home, 512mb of
ram, 40 gb hard drive, and 32gb of video memory.
