Missing Outlook files after restoring

Why will my Email from 13/11 to 1/1/06 be missing but all previous were
installed. Obviouysly these were the archived items but i cannot find the
more recent ones even tho i have some pst files (i think these are the
archived ones.

Also missing address book. I did also take a copy of "C" drive onto D drive
but still no joy. Some files i tried to resorre say not a win 32 file.

Can any one help me ?

All OL mail and addressess are contained in the pst file(s)
by default the archive is named archive.pst

YOur active .pst file is a hidden file. Enable searching hidden/system
files and then look for the most recent .pst file. Open it in Outlook - do
NOT import.
