Help...had to reinstall Windows 2k, Office 2k..can I find old outlook info???

[Tom]

My tech guy had to re-install Win2kPro (due to bad
motherboard), before new install, he copied all old data
to a backup then put it on my newly created desktop as a
single file (for data purposes). I found .pst file but it
only contained data that is 10 months old and older. Is
there any way I can recover all data (including e-mails
that were just sitting in my folders) in Outlook? I had
archived outlook about a week prior to the hardware
failure but do not see anything resembling a .pst that
contains newer archived info. PLEASE...ANY HELP IS
GREATLY APPRECIATED, I NEED TO RECOVER HUNDREDS OF LOST E-
MAILS!!!

Just a thought -- have you checked in hidden and system folders for .PST
files? Windows 2000 puts .PST files in a hidden folder by default, and
users can move them anywhere.

You may try to search in my computer/outlook files for
this one, or go to search and request search all folders:
*.pst If there is no found can't help you, but you may
try to contact recovery business, and they have some
tools to do this.
