Importing Outlook Contacts, etc.

[charphar]

Hey Gang...My old XP computer got struck by lightning over the weekend.
Motherboard fried, evrything else seems to be OK. I went out and bought a new
Vista machine. I have the HD from the old machine and it is usable. My
question is: How do I go about getting the Outlook 2007 data (contacts,
calendar, etc.) from the old HD to Outlook on the new machine?

Thanks in advance for the help!

The same way we post here multiple times every day. Do not be hesitant to
read before you post. Importing should not belong in your vocabulary.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
