Hi,

If you have MS Outlook 2003, please follow these steps:

1. Connect your old hard drive to your computer and try to locate your
Outlook.pst file. (The default location is something like C:\Documents
and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook)

2. Copy the Outlook.pst file from there and save it to the default
location of the Outlook.pst file one your new hard drive.

3. For more information visit: http://www.repairpst.net/blog/outlook-

Hope this helps.

NO NO NO!

That is the quickest way to a corrupted mail profile and/or pst file. Copy
somewhere else and in Outlook do File-Open-Outlook data file.....
