    In an effort to help you there are several questions that need to be answered first.

    1. Are you still able to access the old damaged drive?

    2. Does the old drive reside in the same computer you are using or in a different computer?

    3. Do you have a back-up of your old drive and if so does it contain copies of you old address book and OE file folders?

    4. I understand the old system was running Win95 but what version of IE were you using?

    5. What version of Windows are you using now?

    6. What version of Internet Explorer are you using now?

    7. Was your old address book a Windows (.wab) address book?

    What is the name of the "old internet mail address book ", Was it from Win95 or a third party software?

    When you say "second has a corrupted outlook xpress pgm that cannot be imported to new drive" are you referring to the mail messages contained in OE program?

    At any rate check out the following link, see if this helps you accomplish what you're trying to do;
