Tools|Restore didn't bring back your Address and Notes info?  Hmm...

Have you tried copying the ..\logic5\logdata\log.dbf file from your
old hard drive into your new drive (and then running a clean)?
Address and Notes info are embedded into the log.dbf file as far as I
can tell.  They are not separate files that you can copy over.

Your old customized list of logfields might be located at
..\logic5\logdata\logfields.dbf (probably called logfie~1.dbf or
something similar if you're looking at it in a DOS window).  Also try
and copy ..logic5\logdata\lists.dbf (it's your Lists of Valid Values)
over to your new computer.

I think that ..\logic5\data\prefix.dbf is your old Prefix List so any
changes you made their can also be copied over.  As always reindex
after you've copied over these files either by doing a clean or going
to Tools|Database Maintenance.

Hope this helps.
