I need to retrieve contacts from my wifes thunderbird profile. all I have is the hard drive from the crashed computer. Where can I find the address book? I have to use two different computers as her new computer has no spot for another hard drive

I can find thunderbird on the old hard drive, but not the profile data

have you enabled viewing of hidden files and folders? see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7

Windows hides the application data folders and you must override the setting to find anything it contains.

Check this article to locate your profile folder.
