lost pst files

[JoeMama]

I recently installed a new hard drive in my machine. I was having trouble
with the Windows installation on the old C drive, so I made the old drive a
slave drive and reinstalled Windows 2000 on the new drive. When I search the
old drive that is in the machine for the PST files from my previously
installed Outlook 2003, I can't seem to find it. I I have searched for
*.*pst, and pst . The only thing that I'm finding is a very old (pre-Outlook
2003) file that does not contain very much. Does anyone have any ideas --

Hi JM,
you also have to search into hidden files and folders.
The default path to the pst file is
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
