Motherboard and processor fried on my old computer. I transferred old hard drives to the new one as slave and external drives and have re-installed Outlook 2000 but I can't find all of my old messages. Imported the only PST files I could find on the drives but that included only some of my messages. What do I need to do to restore Outlook to it's original self before the crash? I have some important messages I can't find!

The default location for your pst files is Documents and settings\userid\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

They may be hidden, so you need to enable viewing of hidden files.

Then, add that pst file to your Outlook Data Files

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
