Bring Outlook info into another Hard Drive

My computer has two internal hard drives. One is master
and the other slave. The slave has been empty as I used
it for temp video files for editing. My main drive had a
problem with a window system file and I could not recover
it. I did not want to do a system recovery as it wipes
the drive and restores it to factory setting. I would
loose my settings and contact information. I took the
drives out and swapped their locations. I was then able
to do a system recovery to the empty drive and then
access the other drive with Windows Explorer. I moved all
of my data and files, but can't find Outlook stuff. I
need to move all of my Outlook contacts and settings to
the new copy of outlook on primary drive. Any thoughts?

Search for pst-files. Make sure you include hidden and system files/folders.
In case you didn't store your contacts in the Contacts folder search for
pab-files as well.
