Help with Outlook

[Taka]

Hi!

I had a win98 computer which is screwed up beyond repair and cannot boot
any more. I bought a new
computer and installed win2k on it. I took a harddisk from my old computer
and inserted it in the new one, which is now drive D:.
Now, can I import Outlook data from the old computer? I know all that
Import/Export stuff, but i couldn't have done the export since my old
computer didn't boot anymore. And where are the Outlook files on a win98
system?

It that Outlook or Outlook Express?

That is Outlook that comes with MSOffice, not Outlook Express.

Tools -> Options -> Mail Setup -> Data Files.
Then either add the old PST files or change the existing path to point to
them.
Depends whether you want to keep the old drive, or just extract the data and
bin it.
Probably worth taking a note of where the existing pst files are stored,
just in case.
