Did you try importing from the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\[WINDOWS 2000 USERNAME]\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst

The OP will more than likely get a corrupted file. Not a process to be
recommended

Please ignore any advice to import the file - that is one of the fastest
ways to a corrupt pst file.

What do you mean, exactly, "I cant get the new version of outlook to see it
"?

Did you try importing

NO NO NO! Importing a pst file is the best way to corrupt it. In Outlook do
File-Open-Outlook Data File.

Search for all files names .pst. By default it resides in some obscure
folder rather than in your My Docs folder where you think it should be.
