I think the problem is Windows 7 orphaned Outlook Express and went to Windows
Live Mail and they may handle their databases differently, although I thought
you could export from Outlook and import to Mail Live. I regret to say I have
not followed closely, but if the old drive is intact, maybe you can boot from
it
to actually run the old programs to tie up loose ends.

Do you now have an outlook express folder on your new computer under your local
folders?
here's another link:

Item #11 shows where the mail folders where placed.
