Lost Outlook Calender when upgrading

[Guest]

Hello,

I upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003 by uninstalling 2000 and then
installing 2003. I wrongly assumed that the Calender would not be touched,
same as contents of mydocuments. The Calender was erased along with much
needed details.

I have tried system restore to a time before the change, but the .pst file
remains the newest, unwanted one. I imported the archive, but it only shows
entries 5 months old, not the current months.

Is there anyway to recover my original calender (.pst)? When I uninstalled
2000 and installed 2003 was the file overwritten? If so is there anyway to
recover it?

Greatly appreciate any help with this problem!

Turn on searching hidden files/folders and search for files with the ..pst extension. Open each in Outlook until you find your old data, then close the others.
