Default XP Outlook messages not carried over to Vista Outlook


I installed Vista Beta 2 over the weekend, in a dual-boot setup, and on it's
own partition. The install went find, and Vista and XP appear to be working.
However, it appears I have "lost" all of my email, folders, calendar, etc.
from XP. Is there any way to "recover" or access my XP Outlook into Vista
Outlook? BTW - I'm using the Office 2007 beta on both XP and Vista.

Thanks.

Locate the .pst file that contains your data and then open it with File | Open | Outlook Data File in Outlook. You will need to store it on a partition that is accessible to both operating systems.
