profiles lost in xp upgrade

I am currently using Nestcape 7.1. When I upgraded from Wins 98 to XP all of my mail settings/profiles were lost.
I backed up my harddrive to another prior to my new upgrade, but not individual mail profiles.
When I launched xp it can not find any of my profiles,bookmarks, addresses...etc,
Any ideas on how to retrieve my old mail settings.
Thanks Michael

Hi Michael,

Windows XP Profiles Folder Location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profilename\xxxxxxxx.slt

NOTE: These files are hidden by default.
To see hidden files:
1. On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options
2. Click the View tab
3. Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders

Look in your your *.slt folder. There you will find your abook.mab (Address Book), and your bookmarks.html files. Your Mail Account Folder should also be listed. Once you've found the folders/files, do you see more than one Profile Name folder?

You might also take a look at this page:

Look in that harddrive. The drive letter could be something else. Look for
X:\Windows\Application Data\Netscape\Profiles\default\xxxxx.slt

This is only a guess cause I use Mozilla in Win98.
