No Address Book + No access privileges

[Murray Kastner]

At my wit's end, I am resorting to the list -- which I shoulda done 
long ago. Here's the scenario:

I swapped hard drives in my 17" Alu and since then I am plagued with 
loss of the Address Book and I also can't install a fresh copy of 
Palm Desktop (for hotsynching a PDA). Everything cooks until the end 
of the installation when I get a dialogue box telling me I don't have 
access privileges.

I have reinstalled Panther and upgraded it to 10.3.2. I have tried 
replacing the individual files although the Address Book is also 
missing from my external drive (FW250 LaCie). Funny enough, I was 
able to use an old backup of the Palm folder and retrieve my contacts 
as a backup to the Palm. So all is not lost. But it is frustrating as 
anything not having an Address Book.

When I try and access it from the hard drive, it bounces a half dozen 
times but then disappears without anything else.

Any suggestions will be eagerly accepted and put into action immediately!
