I lost my pst

[John]

I'm using Outlook XP, and upgraded from WIN98 to XP. I
was shocked to find all my previous emails, contacts,
etc. were gone. Ran Search to find pst, it's not on hard
drive. Please help! I really need to retrieve this data.

In Windows XP, you need to turn on searching hidden and system
files/folders.

Hi,

Did you make sure that you searched in the Hidden Files and Folders ?

The only pst file that shows up in search results is the
new one that was created when I installed XP.
