I would look for the largest *.PST file on your old computer and then make sure you copied the correct one. Also when you bring that file off the CD most likely it may be "read only" I have no idea how outlook would react to that. Right click on the file and double check the read only attribute which should be unchecked.

I'm trying to bring in my contacts and calendar from my old computer to
my new one, and have copied the data into a file and put in on cd. The
file is an Outlook Data File as confirmed by Explorer. When I copy the
file into the Local Settings--Microsoft--Outlook folder, it appears
there as having the same file size. But when I try to open it within
Outlook, either through the import function, or simply file--Open Data
File, nothing happens, and it simply creates a new personal folder with
nothing in it. I know that it copied the data because I watched while
it said copying "calendar" and "contacts". Am I doing something wrong?
