Help with Outlook and Explorer Please

It's a long and boring story as to how I got in this state (and more importantly it makes me look stupid) so I won't post it here. But the situation is this:

I have got Windows 2000 Professional on my master (boot) drive and a Windows 98 in a corrupted form on my slave drive. Although much of Windows is corrupted on the slave, it still has working copies of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express on it. These have bookmarks and (most importantly) emails on them that I need to get at.

The problem is that whatever I try to do to open them, they always use the bookmarks and emails on the master drive, not their own ones. I would guess that this is because they automatically look on the C drive rather than the drive they are on.

My problem is that I desperately need to get at the bookmarks and emails on the old drive. Particularly the emails (I can live without the bookmarks, but I must get to the emails ASAP). So I want to be able to do one of two things.

1. Open Outlook and Explorer and make them look on the old drive for the emails and bookmarks, so I can read them.

OR 2. Move the files containing the emails and bookmarks on my E drive to my C drive.

However I have no idea how to make (1) happen and I cannot find the correct files to do (2).

Please can anyone help me, getting to the emails is urgent, and I am about to loose clients if I don't do it ASAP.
