Importing .pst not working

[Baha]

I am using office 2003. I had to re image my C; Drive

Before I did I exported my Outlook personal folder to a file I named
“Outlook-Oct-25.08backup.pst†on a different drive. I am trying to import
this back up file “Outlook-Oct-25.08backup.pst†. Here is process I followed:

Import Other program files

Personal folder (.pst)
Allow Duplicates
Select the exiting personal folder
Import items into the current folder

NOTE: Include sub folders is active.
When I click finish, NOTHING HAPPINES.

I also tried creating a new personal folder and importint .pst into it and
Nothing happiness as well
I tried import into The Same Folder. And Nothing happiness as well

Please help me.


Thanks

As you can read here every day exporting and importing are never the correct
way to transfer Outlook data. They are an excellent way to lose data or make
it inaccessible. Did you make any valid backups of your data? If you try to
open this PST file in Outlook, what happens? Have you ensured that this file
has not acquired a read only attribute?

As posted, generally several times a day, Within Outlook, File>Open>Personal
Folders....browse to your pst.
Does it open?
