Help with new install
 
I recently had an equipment failure (Hard drive would not boot.) I needed a
new HDD anyway so I started from scratch. The data on the old drive it still
intact and the drive works. I have reinstalled Windows and Office 2003, now
here is the question, Is there a way to get the account information, stored
e-mail, contacts, etc. from the old install on the other drive to the new
install on the new drive? I was reluctant to use the copy utility that came
with the new drive for fear that it would copy the bad boot info along with
everything else.

Thanks for the assist

See here for pst locations
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm
Copy pst to new hd, any location do not overwrite any existing pst, then in
OL FileOpenData File and copy data to your default pst
You may have to take ownership of old files
