Old PC dead (HD OK, at least enough to get files off), use Outlook to synch
PDA, cannot install 2nd instance of Outlook from CD. Any way to transfer
Outlook, or is PDA doomed, too? (No, I don't want 2 instances, which would
violate terms; just want one that works. And no, I'm not buying another copy
of something that creates this problem.)
 
All of the mail, calendar, contacts, .etc are stored in a *.PST file. This
file can be moved over to another machine and used w/out issue. (If moving
via CDR/RW, make sure you burn the PST file a 4x or slower. Anything faster
and it tends to corrupt.)

Outside of that, I've never known Microsoft to be weird about transferring
retail licenses of Microsoft Office/Outlook from one machine to another when
a hardware failure is involved. Worst I've seen it is where you have to
call in order to get the license transferred.

If the old PC's dead, then you wouldn't be installing two instances, because
it has never been installed on the new PC, even if you have added the old
disk to the new PC as a second drive. Is there some error you're getting
when you try to install Outlook on the new PC?
