Hi People!
I wanted to know if anyone here knows how to transfer emails and account info from 1 hd to another HD.
I need to transfer Alot of emails from One HD that has Win Xp but its having failures and I can run Office 2003 on it.
I was wondering if I can move the emails and account info fromt the bad HD to another HD running win 2k sp4?

Any help is appreciated thanks.

Thanks for the links..The prob is that I did not make a .pst
I need to get the emails from my Inbox in office 2003 from the dying Win XP HD.

Oh Gripe its Outlook in Office 2003.

Sorry I overlooked that last detail.

Outlook automatically creates a .pst file. This file is generally a hidden file so you'll need to uncheck hide system files in folder options. The file "should" be located:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

I checked the the location and all it gave me are these files:
Outcmd.dat
outlook.nk2
outlook.srs
outlook.xml

No pst files...

Ok Im back with this same problem again.
Another WD HD died on me and I have to get the Saved emails from that HD to the current HD that I have running Office 2003. They both have SP1.
Will that help in me retreiving my emails from the other HD?

Search for *.pst - enable advanced options and search hidden and system files.
