I did a system recovery that was 'supposed' to be non-destructive and no data
files lost. I had to reinstall Office 2003. But now I do not have anything
from Outlook from before (email, address book, calendar, etc.). I have
searched for *.pst and have found nothing. How do I recover all of this
information? HELP!
 
Well, I was able to find the oulook.pst file. I forgot to also search for
hidden files. It appears that I have restored mail (including subfolders, my
claendar, & address book). The only thing I can not figure out is that I am
missing all my inbox email from Jan 2006 to yesterday. I have new mail and
some older ones that I still had. I did import the file. Should I do
something else to completely restore my inbox?
Thanks,
tasmm

Never import. Just open the PST with File>Open>Outlook Data File.
 
Thanks. I did go back and open the outlook file and have all of my emails
now. I ended up with 2 personal folders but after consolidating I have
everything! Thank You!
