Search for files with a PST extension. (If using Windows XP, you need to
ensure that you search for hidden/system files because the PST files will be
located in hidden/system directories.)

Hi,

You could search for '*.pst' files in your computer.
(Goto StartSearchAll Files n Folders and click on More Advanced Options
and select the first 3 boxes and then search).

Use the import wizard to import the data into Outlook.

Never import Outlook .pst files into Outlook. Open them using
File-Open-Outlook Data File.
