Lost .pst files

[DaddyRay]

I am using Office XP with Outlook 2002 (SP2). I recently
had a boot track failure on my old computer which had 2
hard drives, using the second drive as back-up storage.
I bought a new computer and installed the old main drive
(the one with the failed boot track) in my new computer
as a second drive and copied all the data onto the new
main drive. All data and software works except Outlook.
I cannot find any .pst files on my old drive. Where
could they be. BTW I use Matadore as a spam blocker.

Presumably you're using Windows XP - did you enable Hidden and System
Files and Folders in your search? XP (and W2K) considers a pst as a
hidden system file.

It's a hidden file. Make sure you're looking in hidden/system folders when
you search. Default location is C:\documents and settings\<username>\local
settings\application data\microsoft\outlook.
