I installed a larger HDD in my laptop and copied/pasted the Profile being used and changed the pointer files to the location of the Profile. I now have all of my email and folders back, my Addresses are all missing. The old HDD is intact with the old location of T'Bird still there as well. I can access the profile in the original HDD but don't know what to look for. I searched for LDIF and BAK files without luck. Any suggestions? TIA --

It 'sounds like' you did not move your full profile. Assuming it is still in its original position, locate the profile on old HDD at c:\\(yourname)\appdata\roaming\thunderbird. copy all of that to new HDD and all should work properly.
