Data from Recovered Disc

[P Pron]

The hard-drive on my Toshiba laptop failed a couple of weeks ago. I've
replaced the computer with a new one, but hope to be able to get the data
recovered from the old drive by a specialist company, when time (and
finances) permit.

Assuming the data recovery is successful, will it be possible to merge the
Outlook emails and contacts, etc from the old computer into the new one?
Both use Outlook 2003.

many thanks

Paul

Once you have the recovered data, just use File->open->outlook data file
from Outlook's File menu. Open the .pst file and drag/drop your items into
your current .pst file.
