Locating and restoring .pst file not previously backed up
Hi - I came into my office yesterday to find my computer dead - I think the
motherboard is done with. I took the hard drive out and popped it into an enclosure and plugged it into my notebook. So far so good - I can read all files/folders. The problem is I'm trying to locate all of my Outlook .pst files so I can restore all of my contacts, appts, emails, etc to my notebook but can not locate these files for the life of me. I'm searching, I'm looking at articles and just can't find the files. I'm using XP and 'm supposed to find in under D&S/NAME/Local Settings.... Trouble is, there is no Local Settings folder let alone the rest of the path. When I search looking for contacts.pst the results come up empty. So, two Q's - what's the mystery behind finding this file and because I did not export the file prior to my computer going belly up on me can I restore it easily one located? Thanx in advance.
