access denied on import of prior outlook.pst file

M

Martin

I reinstalled windows onto a newly formatted existing hard drive. But, first
I copied everything from my old C drive to a newly installed hard drive. I
am unable to import or open my previous outlook.pst file and get msg
"accessed denied". I believe I have permissions properly specified.

Help plz

'Take ownership' see win help, of the folder containing your old OL data
files.
Copy those files to My Documents Folder.
Within OL, File>Open>Data File........browse to that location
