Transferring Outlook to a new PC

[CRH]

I am setting up a new PC and would like to move my Outlook data to the new
PC. I am using Outlook 2003 on both PC's. I followed the instructions on
how to export the .pst file. I burned the files to a CD & copied the files
to my desktop on the new PC.

I do the following steps in the Import and Export Wizard:
1. Choose Import from another program or file > Next
2. Choose Personal Folder File (.pst) > Next
3. File to import (I browsed to my .pst file); Picked option Allow
duplicates to be created > Next
When I click on the Next button I receive error message "The C:\Documents
and Settings\crh\Desktop\Calendar.pst is not a .pst file".

I am not sure why I keep getting this error message. If I try and import
the same file on the original PC, it works fine. I also have checked the
properties on the .pst file to be sure that Read Only file attribute was not
checked.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

have you removed the Read-Only attribute?

Wrong. Open Outlook and go to File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate
to where you copied the pst file to.
