Default MSN Webmaster Tools? Not?

Hi,
I have just moved a site from one platform to another. I have a number of pages on my old site that are indexed in MSN (and yahoo for that matter) but I can not find a "Page Removal Request" feature anywhere so I can get them out of the MSN index (works fine with Google). All of these old pages product 404 errors.

I don't have access to my old site (strict CMS type system) so I can't set up robots.txt files, etc. Any suggestions?

Any insights?

Set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the corresponding new URLs and set up a custom 404 error page, as well.

In this case, you would need (Because you use REW CMS) to provide a list of old URL's and the corresponding new URL's and a member of the programming team will do it for you

MSN doesn't have a page removal option just yet. I had the same problem with one of my other sites. I had alot of 404 pages i wanted removed but there was nothing i could do. Even though they're not harming the site, i hate knowing that they are still indexed...lol
