Palm Desktop into Outlook

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/technology/personaltech/transferring-old-palm-desktop-data.html?emc=edit_ct_20140313&nl=technology&nlid=32972288&_r=0

Microsoft itself has a guide at support.microsoft.com/kb/810930; the document describes how to export Palm contacts into a comma separated values (.csv) file, modify the fields in Excel and then import the file into Outlook.

Moving calendar events can be a little trickier because of the .dba format Palm Desktop uses for the data. If you do not have any qualms about using a third-party website for your personal information, the Palm2CSV.com site should be able to convert your datebook into an Outlook-ready .csv file free. Commercial programs like InfoMigrator for Outlook or LivePIM’s DesktopMirror software for Windows are other possibilities if you would prefer to move all the addresses and events from Palm Desktop to Outlook at once.

NTLDR missing

Try this.

When you start your computer after you upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP, you may receive one or both of the following error messages:
Invalid Boot.ini
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

Windows\System32\Hal.dll

This issue may occur if the Boot.ini file is missing, damaged, or contains incorrect entries.

To resolve this issue, start the computer from the Windows XP CD, start the Recovery Console, and then use the Bootcfg.exe tool to rebuild the Boot.ini file. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Configure the computer to start from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. For information about how to do this, see your computer documentation, or contact your computer manufacturer.
2. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer.
