How do I find my Office 2003 files?

[KLW]

I'm reposting this, as I inadvertently put my question in Office updates,
instead of General Questions the first time:

I recently bought a new computer and had my old hard drive installed as the D
drive, believing that it would be a simple way to transfer my old files to
the new drive as time allowed. It's been a good solution, except for my
Office 2003 files. I couldn't get the Import/Export function to work from one
drive to the other. Is there any other way to get my files moved over? I'm
especially missing Tasks, but, of course, hope for Contacts and Email
folders, as well! As it is, I don't even know how to view these files on the
D drive, so all my data is lost to me for now. Thanks for any help you can
provide!

Simply locate your .pst file on the D drive. Make a note of its location.
Then find and rename the .pst file on your new C: drive to outlook.bak.
Open Outlook and when it complains, point it to the D: .pst file.
