How to Import Outlook 2000 files across OS's? ME to XP?

I've just done a clean install of Windows XP Home, to
upgrade from Win ME (whoopie!) Beforehand I saved the files
from (Outlook 2000)Windows/application data, outlook 2000,
archives, current mail, etc., to a zip disk before the
installation to restore those files in their folders once
that install was complete. Windows has used a different
hierarchy for folders & system files and finding them was
one problem.

It took a while, but Outlook created a folder with the
current pst's, but there is no provision for importing
across ME and XP OS's. And, Outlook will not recognize the
old files. I reinstalled the program with the files in
place, no luck there either. How can I access my old mail?
 
Don't import from the .PST file...just re-use it. And make sure it's
not marked read-only before you try to use it -- Outlook needs write
access.
