Default My new computer needs my old messages and contacts!

I recently purchased a new computer and sent my old one to the recyclers,
before it went away I took a copy of the hard drive in full. I am trying to
reinstate all of my important information, including e-mail contacts from my
outlook 2003. I have loaded the program on my new computer, and followed some
of the instructions in this forum as far as opening the *.pst files from
Outlook.

My problem is that the only *.pst file the Find feature could locate on the
old hard drive was the Archive folder, all of the messages are several months
old.

My question is, where on the hard drive is the 'current' *.pst file (ie the
inbox, and contacts list) or does it have a different extention?
