When I received my new computer, I saved the old hard
drive and made it a slave in the new computer so that I
wouldn't lose any data. I had Office 2000 on the old
hard drive and I have Office 2003 on the new hard drive.
I want to access the Outlook data from the old hard drive
and make it accessable on the new hard drive so I won't
lose my Contacts, email messages, tasks, etc. I can't
find the files on the old hard drive to transfer. I'd be
greatful for any assistance.

Thanks.

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. If you can't find it, make sure you
search for hidden files.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
