Moving Outlook Emails, Contacts, Calendar & Notes

[Matt Bryant]

My old PC, with WinXP Home and Office 2003, just died. I've set up another
system to replace it. It is equipped with Vista and Office 2003. I did not
have my emails, contacts, calendar and notes backed up before this system
failure, but the old HD is intact and readable. How can I retrieve my
Outlook data and set it up on the new PC?

I don't see (or simply don't know where to look for) a file with that data
in the Office program file folders.

No question is answered more frequently. Never hesitate to search the group
before you post. Once again, just for you:
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.
