User created WLM storage folders lost

I have expanded my C drive with partitionmagic 8 and had to recreate all
mail and newsgroup accounts in WLM. Everything has shown up as before
except the user created storage folders. Does any one know how to relocate
these or have they been lost? :-(

Help appreciated, John.

Sorry I forgot to mention drive letters were changed. C (on 0) stayed the
same and was expanded to take in D. The following letters all moved up one.

Was your WLM folder originally on "C" or another drive partition?

To my understanding PM8 is not compatible with Windows Vista.
You must be using a different system.
Applying an appropriate utility you can definitely retrieve your missing
items.

It was on E which is now D. Duh, now I have changed the store location to
point at the original location now on D. All is well. Thanks for your
help, I should have thought of this as I had to change lots of other
pointers too.

See above, I am running Win XP with which partitionmagic 8 is compatible.
