Recently I had a slow computer so the technican insattled a new hard drive
on my PC.

The problem now is I cannot find the location of folder/file location of all
my old emails which were on the old hard drive which I can still access on
the pc.

I have rang the guy for helkp and he said the file is on the computer
somewhere but he was not sure where.

I use Outlook express on both PC and Windows XP Home edition.

I am computer illerate so please reply keep your reply simple so I can
understand.

Thanking You
 
:

Try search the whole computer for .pst file

The OP said "Outlook EXPRESS" not "Outlook".
Outlook EXPRESS uses many *.dbx files, not one *.pst file.

Go to Start-Search and search for *.dbx files. You will have to enable
hidden files in your search (go to Advanced Search).

When you have found the location, open OE and just go to File-Import and
navigate to where you found the old files.
