My os crashed and I subsequently installed a new hd and os. I have the old
hd as a secondary drive and I cannot find the file to restore the contacts
and data for Microsoft outlook. I had about 600 contacts, appointments, etc
in outlook.



I am running this on a dell dimension 4400



Anyone have any suggestions?



Thanks again

search for *.pst file(s)...I believe you have to enable "show hidden files
and folders" in folder options

Hey Melissa

That was great. I found the folder and copied it to the new hard drive in
the same location. Outlook recognized it right away. Thanks. You saved my
life and my 600 contacts and appointments. Hope I can return the favor some
day.
