Default Importing emails if Outlook reinstalled on new HDD?

Apologies if this has been covered a million times before.

I am upgrading my boot HDD and making my current boot drive, which contains
Outlook, my slave drive. If I reinstall Outlook 2003 on my new boot drive how
do I import all the old emails and contacts. Can I just copy/paste the pst
file or is it not that simple, or is there an easier way? Or should I
reinstall Outlook 2003 on the slave drive? I am running XP Pro.

Thanks In Advance

Al

It has and Google Groups would have made it easy for you to find those prior
times.

Do not export or import. See this:
