How can I access old email in Outlook 2000

[houseofcyn]

XP crashed on a hard drive and I made it a slave in a different computer. All data is still there.

I need to: first of all FIND the old outlook 2000 email and contacts files...where they are I do not know... and then second...import the old files into the outlook 2000 on my c drive. Outlook lets you import Outlook express files, but not Outlook files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look at the part that says "Outlook file locations" after you find them, its just a matter of taking the files with the right extensions (explained in that link), and copying them to your current directory.

All the mail and contacts are in a single .PST file, usually called OUTLOOK.PST. Once you find it, just replace the new file with it. If you use a CD burner to move it over, make sure you remove the read-only attribute from the file before you try to open Outlook.
