1) I had a Windows 7 PC with Live Mail and the mother board went bad.

2) I bought a new Windows 8 PC.  The old hard drive was still good so it was installed on the new PC as a backup drive.

3) All the old files were transferred to the new hard drive.

4) I downloaded Essential Live Mail and currently use it for email.

5) All attempts to find and import the old contacts and email messages/folders have failed.

Apparently, Live Mail can't find my contacts and emails and the folders appear to be hidden from my searches.  Given this sequence of events, how do I import my old contacts and emails from my own hard drive?? 

Thank you!!
