Hi

I have an old hard drive from a PC that ceased living. It has all my outlook emails and settings on it. How do i import the data from that drive to my new PC. I have installed the hard drive to the new PC but it is now the slave drive not the master. Also the old PC was Windows ME and the new PC is XP. I have Outlook installed on the new PC, but cannot figure out how to get the data from the old drive to the new PC's Outlook.

Thanks

Run a search for files and folders on your old drive for *.pst. This will show you where your file is. Then open outlook and choose to import a pst file and follow the instructions. Should be pretty straight forward.

Thought it was, but couldn't remember how. Does this have email account settings too.

Thanks
