I want to format my C drive (which has become intolerably slow) and reinstall windows from scratch. Having done this with my laptop already, I realized too late that though I'd backed up all the email directories, I hadn't backed up all the attachments to the emails. Is there any way for me to do this before I wipe the C drive? Can I restore them in a way that will allow the restored emails to access them?

Many thanks,

Joe
