Never import a native Outlook data file. Use File->Open->Outlook Data file.
Ensure that the file you copied is intact. If it does not open, make a copy
and then run scanpst.exe against the file. If it reports errors, continue
to run scanpst until it reports no more errors.
If it reports that it has found errors that it cannot repair, your .pst file
is corrupt, possibly from how you exported/copied the file.
If you still have access to the original .pst file, simply copy the file,
paste in My Documents (to ensure it has a better chance of backup than
elsewhere) and then open it in Outlook using File->Open->outlook data file.

|| Sorry to ask the same question again but I have the same problem. A
|| year ago, I had to replace a noisey HD and followed the proceedure
|| above and
|| it worked (outlook 2003 to outlook 2003). I just bought a new system
|| and installed Office 2007. To make things easier, I exported the
|| backup.pst file to c:\backup.pst. I then copied it to a flash drive
|| and then copied it onto the new system at c:\backup.pst. When I try
|| to
|| import the .pst file I get a message that I do not have permission.
|| "File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to
|| access the file c:\backup.pst" ?????
