I recently upgraded my motherboard and forgot to export
my Outlook files to a specific location. I have the old
hard drive with all necessary files set as a secondary HD
to my fresh install of XP Pro. Without being able to
boot from my old hard drive, where can I go to pull the
files containing my old mail and contacts? In other
words - what is the typical path and folder(s) that
contain the necessary files, and what are the names of
those files that contain contacts and mail?
Thanks
 
You're looking for Pst-files;

Make sure you include hidden and system files and folders when searching for
pst-file.

By default it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
