My laptop mother board fried. The hard drive is good. I put the HD in an
external box for the HD. I can access my document files etc. but can not
figure out how to transfer my email, contacts, calendar appointments etc. to
my other computer from the HD. I can't find a .pst file on that hard drive.

Brian, Thank you for the link to how to Outlook. This will be a very
valuable source for me. However, I still can't find the Outlook data file in
the location it should be. Does it end in .pst or some other file type? I
know it's there. How do I find it?

Open Windows Explorer and in the Address Bar enter

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

for Windows XP and

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

for Vista. Click Go. "Local Settings" (on XP) and "Local" (on Vista)
folders are hidden folders. Unless you alter your Folder Options, you won't
see them ordinarily.
