i exported outlook 2000 pst file file and compied onto cd, then copied onto
new machine with outlook 2003. i have tried to import the pst file but it
kicks up the file is not a personal folders file. HELP
 
Do not import a PST file. Open it.
Make sure you have moved it to a hard drive and removed its read only
attribute before you do.

If what Russ suggests doesn't work, it's because the method you used to make
the PST copy corrupted the copy beyond usability. Never export a PST and
make sure Outlook is closed when you make a copy of the original PST.
 
the problem is i had to do it quickly as i had just handed my notice in and
was put on immediate garden leave so didn't have much time to check it had
worked so am now worried i have lost all contacts
