Migrate .pst from 2002 to 2003

Our office just migrated to SBS 2003 and Outlook 2003 on Exhange Server. I
backed up my .pst folder prior to these changes. None of my old info, mail,
contacts etc. were transfered in the upgrade. I have my backup file. I
tried to replace the new .pst file in Outlook 2003 with my backed up .pst
file. When Outlook starts, it creates a new .pst file instead of using my
back up. I renamed the back up file "outlook", but Outlook keeps defaulting
to the new file it creates. Can anyone help? My desktop is Windows XP, SP2.
Outlook 2003.

In OL open your pst, copy stuff to the new pst, close old backup pst
Never overwrite a pst, causes corruption.
This assumes the backup file is actually a pst and it is located on your hd,
with read only flag off
