Default Can't find my PST file

I installed a new hard drive in my desktop an dshave my old hard drive
running as an external drive. I've reloaded my software and opened and set up
a new Outlook account (identical to the old one, just on the new hard drive).
I need to move all my old emails, calendar and contacts to the new drive, but
I can't find anything that's a PST file on my old drive (I did a search on
".pst" and it showed nothing). I do have a 966 KB Outlook file but it says
it's a NK2 file. Someone help me reconnect with my old data, please. Thanks.

Default Can't find my PST file

Usually (drive letter):\Documents and settings\(user)\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Note that you'll have to set
'Control panel|Folder Options|View' to show hidden files and folders.

I had already done this. And I am viewing hidden files. Nothing in
J:\Wiley\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook is a .pst
file. (J is my old hard drive that I'm now using as an external drive.)

Default path
\Documents and settings\(user)\LocalSettings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
you are looking in;
J:\Wiley\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\

You appear to be looking in the incorrect folder

As DL says, wrong folder. What you want is:

J:\Documents and settings\Wiley\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
