Recovering Outlook email

[Guest]

I had a problem with a hard drive where I could no longer boot from it. Not
wanting to lose all my information, I installed Windows on another HD and
then copied my info from the original drive to the new HD. Pictures,
documents and such were not a problem and I have recovered my old address
book. Is there any way I can recover my email from Outlook 2000. There are
no .pst files on the old drive, but I was wondering if I could copy and paste
some files from the old drive to the new one and get all the email back in my
inbox and various other folders?

It's all in the .PST file if you aren't using an Exchange server.

I'm sure Ben meant to add, since pst files are usually hidden you will need
to search to include hidden.
By default pst files located within C:\Documents & Settings\ folder
