Migrating Outlook 2007 user data from one drive to another in same

[bgillies]

I have a new computer running Win 7 and it has Microsoft Office 2007. the
computer had a RAID 1 configuration, which means a second disk was mirroring
everything the main disk was doing. The main disk failed, and I for a number
of reason i was force to do a fresh reinstall of Win7 and Office 2007 on a
new main drive. I am now trying to migrate my data from disk 2 to disk 1.

Outlook 2007 is proving a challenge. I can copy over the .pst files from
drive 2 to drive 1, but when i reinstall my email accounts the program
insists and starting new .pst files rather than use my existing outlook.pst
and archive.pst. how can i make it use my existing files?

On a related issue, does anyone know how i could copy my Word 2007 macros
and customizations to from the old drive to new?

Maybe a stupid question, but did you just copy the .pst over the the existing ones or did you import them 'properly' in Outlook?

I found this article maybe helpful to your question http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;287070&x=11&y=14

Copy over your pst-file (do not overwrite any pst-files in the process) and
reconnect to it by File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
You can use File-> Data File Management... to set it as you default pst-file
again.

Word keeps your default template (including macros) in the normal.dotx file.
