Importing data from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003

[Serge]

My old motherboard is dead. I built a new computer and I want to import
contacts, calendar and emails from my old Outlook. What is the easiest way
to do that?

My old computer was: Windows ME with Outlook 2000. My new computer is
Windows XP Pro with Outlook 2003 I install my old harddisk with my old data
had D: drive in my new computer.

I hope I can import my old data in my new Outlook, I need it for my job!

You never use import to transfer Outlook data. You already have an Outlook
data file. Just open it in Outlook.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

I make a search on my old harddrive and no PST files seems to be present.
Where Outlook 2000 hide this file ?

It is wherever you put it. Read the posts I made. Learn how to search for
hidden files.
