Reinstall and recover

The hard drive on which I had the backups of PST files (Outlook 2003) died a
painful death recently. I had some older PST files on another hard drive,
but would like to get the latest emails, contacts, etc. I cannot boot from
the C drive (problem with motherboard), but I can access the C drive
harddrive from another computer as a slave/external hardrive.

I am obtaining a new computer and will install Office 2007 Professional.
How do I access the latest Outlook 2003 data file from prior C drive
discussed above and import the information into the newly installed Outlook
2007 account?

Your assistance appreciated!

You locate the pst files on the old drive, you may need to take ownership
(see win help) copy them to your Documents folder on the new PC, then within
OL, File>Open.....browse to the files
Either copy data to the new data file or simply leave the old dat files open
See here for the location etc
