Please forgive the posting to two groups. I did not know
which would be the more appropriate.

I have a hard drive which has become unbootable but had
all of my Outlook data on it.

I put the hard drive into a machine with a bootable drive
and I can see the contents but can't find my Outlook files.

I have searched for both .ost and .pst files with no luck
but I am certain the disk contains Outlook data.

I am also unsure how, once I find them, if I can even open
them without having created .pst files first.

All assistance appreciated and thank you.

Thank you. The "search hidden files" box was not checked.
I am running a search right now.

PST files are hidden files.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
