MS Outlook 2000 on my new PC does Open/Import the file OK.
Problem it has ZERO messages. Files was copied to new PC by installing the
old HD in the new PC and copy everything onto new HD. It still works fine on
the old PC !!!
- No messages in Inbox or Sent Items
- No contacts
- Clean calendar
- SCANPST reports no errors, i.e. nothing to fix, but it says 4 folders
- Advanced Find to search for everything finds nothing

PS: This is a repost. Can't find my previous posting dtd 08/11/2004

TIA
 
Are they both the same version of Outlook? Try copying it again. Another
option is to copy it on the PC where it works to the same harddisk; test if
the pst-file works now. Then open that pst-file on your new computer by
File-> OPen-> Outlook Data File...

Did you try opening the pst using File, Open, Outlook data file and then
using View, Folder list to see the pst?
