That is exactly the solution is was trying to find!

I don't know why I failed to find it, but I'm certainly glad that you know
of it.

Thank you, Roady, very much.

The motherboard in my main computer at home recently failed completely. I
do
have some backups of stuff from Outlook 2007, but not as much as I'd like.
I
hope there is a way that I can retreive data from the old hard drive by
putting it in as a slave drive in a new system I've bought, but I've spent
many hours searchghing for information on this and have found none.

The recently fried system was a standalone Windows XP Pro machine that was
part of a simple workgroup setup in my home, connected to two other
Windows
systems by a hub.

I've already removed the drive from the failed system, installed it as a
slave in another system (not the new one, it is not yet here), assigned a
drive letter to it so it can be accessed by Windows, and assumed ownership
of
my old personal folder in C:\Documents And Setting\, and set it to be
shared
on my home network with everyone having full control.

I hope to be able to copy old files so that I will regain existing Inbox
Folders and filters, and emails in all of those folders, as well as my
Contacts information.

My question is: Exactly how can I either import stuff from the old
installation to a fresh installation on the new system, OR directly copy
exactly which files from the old directories to the new?
