I was wondering if anyone knew where Outlook stored all
it's data files on the hard drive. I want to format my
hard drive but don't want to lose my e-mails. Thank you.

Search your harddrive for *.pst make sure you include hidden and system
files/folders. When you restore the file make sure the file property is not
set to "read only".

Hope this helps!

That would depend on what version of outlook you are using - instead
of my typing in the paths, search your system for .pst files (and .pab
files if you use a Personal Address Book). Either method should point
to where your .pst file is stored by default.

Hope this helps! :)
