I got a old pc that was hit by lighting, the motherboard was burnt. The
data on the old hard drive is intact and I have installed it in the new pc.

I can access the old hard drive and have moved the word and excel files to a
new directory called old pc on the new drive.

I would like to transfer the user settings and outlook stuff (address books
for mom dad and kids, as well as email accounts,calendar,bla bla) to the new
drive. More or less the stuff that the transfer wizard does but I cant
because the old computer is shot.

If I have to I will reinstall MS Office on new drive.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Try reinstalling Office and then using the File - Import function in
Outlook and see if it will recover the information from the files on
the old hard drive.

Good luck
