How do I access email folders from external hard drive to copy?

Greetings Smart ones!

My Dell died and I need to transfer the Outlook email folders to my home PC
hard drive. So, I have this cool USB hard drive player that is hooked up as
F drive. I have dinked around and am unable to locate those Outlook 2007
emails from that drive.

Could someone please tell me the trick to finding them and transferring them
to the other drive? I remember it was something like import PST files or
something.

Thanks to you all,
C

Never import from a PST. There's no need and you'll lose data.

If your hard drive is intact, enable searching hidden files and folders and
search the external drive for the PST. When you've found it, in Outlook,
click File>Open>Outlook Data File, browse to the PST, select it, and click
OK.
