No Settings, Contacts or Mail transferred to new HDD by F.A.S.T

those for I have just upgraded my HDD to a larger one of the same type. I ran
the F.A.S.T. wizard.
All settings and data seemed to have been transferred successfully to my new
HDD except for Outlook. All my old mails and contacts for Outook Express
(from which I successfully copied all the data to Outlook recently on my old
HDD so that I could use Outlook only as my PIM)

I was using Office 2000 but installed Office 2003 before making the F.A.S.T.
transfer. I am running Windows XP Pro SP2

I still have the old HDD intact so can, presumably, back up the mails and
contacts manually (though I am not sure how, exactly, yet) but is there any
way, following a F.A.S.T. transfer that I can find then on my new HDD and
import them.

Like everyone my PIM - Outlook - is the heart of my communications system. I
have the arms and legs but not what makes it all tick.

Can anyone help me, please?

Many thanks in advance

Many thanks, Bill. Simple, I know, if you have done it before. Everything
seems to be in place and I can breath easy, again. I am still not sure why
everything else was transferred without a glitch, but I checked and the was
no new .pst file anywhere on my new system. Odd. However, there is now!

Regards
