Import all settings from recovered HDD
Maybe this can help, - maybe not.

Ok, but if I could access the registry is there a way to get the
account settings?

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 and www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx
You cannot import the account information, as that is stored in the
registry, which is not easily accessible. So you need to search for
*.dbx (the files are hidden) on the old drive and then when you find
the directory of dbx files, then go to File | Import | Messages in OE
and point to that directory. That will get the messages back, but you
will have to set up the accounts anew.

processes.
Thanks for any help.
