Retrieving Outlook email after c drive contents to another disk

[Guest]

I had to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows so the guy had me copy
my c drive to an external hard drive. Now I'm trying to retreive my Outlook
2000 email into Outlook 2000 again. However, I did not back it up per
KB196492. And, I can't find any *.pst files among the copied data. Is there
some other place my Outlook 2000 email would be stored where I can retreive
it? Thanks.

the .pst file is a hidden file - ensure you enable searching hidden files.
