Our server (at home) wouldn't boot up Saturday morning despite my best efforts in the recovery console, so I've installed a new disk and a new copy of Windows 2000 server. Any idea if I can retrieve the emails / contacts / calendars from the disk? (it's still readable)

There is a product whose name & google search escapes me but WillieF knows it, that allows the EBD files to be read much in the way of File manager, with Mailboxes and messages etc displayed such.

Drop him an email...

Sounds like a job for Wininternals System Administrator's pack 4.0 - saves a lot of hassle in situations where the system won't boot.

Cheers,
