I had a bad drive (a spot within the operating system) so I put a new drive
into my computer and reloaded all the software. I then connected my old
drive and I can see all the files. But I don't know how (if I can) load my
old address book and e-mails without a .pst file. I don't have a recent .pst
file.
 
How could you not have a recent PST file? It would be on your old hard
drive.
 
..pst file is only created when you back up and request it. I have searched
the file for .pst files and the only one I had was from 2003.

After you asked the question I second guessed myself. I searched, but didn't
realize that it wasn't showing me hidden files. I changed my settings and
found it.

THanks

No - Outlook was using a PST file before. Search for *.pst including
hidden/system folders.
