A friend of mine's hard drive crashed and so I installed a new one and set
the old one as a slave. I'm trying to recover the contacts mainly from the
old drive. I've installed outlook and all other appropriate software on the
new drive. My problem is that I can't find a PST file anywhere to import.
Could it be stored some other way? The original version of Outlook they were
using was 9 which might be 2000, I'm not sure. They're using XP now.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Try searching in hidden and system folders for PST files -- WinXP tends to
hide them. Also, don't import the PST, just open it in Outlook using File |
Open.

Thanks that was it. I could have sworn I had that checked when I searched
but I didn't.
