My Windows XP Pro got trashed. I had the shop do a fresh install on new hard
drive and install old HD as a secondary. The old hard drive is good and has
all of my files on it. So how do I import the Outlook info from the old
drive to the new one?

Making certain that hidden files are visible, do a search on the old hard
drive for files with a .pst file extension. That's the file that contains
all of your messages, contacts, etc. Copy that file from your old hard drive
to the new hard drive and use Outlook's File menu > Open (NOT import) to
open the data file (.pst file).
