I am preparing to upgrade to W7 from Vista HP and in doing so have been
backing up everything to an external HD. I copied and pasted Office info to
the HD and do anything else like delete or cut it.

Outlook opens but contains no data. I get a Personal Folders window saying:
The file C:\users\My Name\My Name\documents\office backup.post cannot be
found.

In Documents, I have Outlook icons of Outlook, backup, archive that when
opened say, "This file does not have a program associated with it for
performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control
panel".

What have I done and more importantly, how do I get my data back? Btw...I
followed the instructions here for backing up Outlook to get to this point.

Thanks!!!!
