Outlook Problem, Help Please!

TrOll

I've got a computer that the motherboard went south on and will not
boot. I bought a new computer but I need to get the Outlook files
off the old hard drive to put into the new computers Outlook program.
Can someone tell me where and what I'm looking for to be able to do
this? I've done a Google on it but all those results say to make a
backup of the old data, which I cannot do because that computer will
not boot. The drive is good as I have it conntcted to an old machine
and I can see all the files on that drive. I just need to know which
ones I need to move to the new comuter so Outlook will be like it was
on the old one. OH, and both computers have Office 2003 on them.

Any help?

the outlook files are normall stored in the users profile\local
settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook, you'll have to view hidden
folders to get into this.

You may also have to take ownership of the files.
I assume you will be connecting old drive as slave in new PC

No DL, this new PC has a tamper seal on the case and a warranty <g> I
guess we better leave it alone. I do have that drive connected to an
older box with an external USB drive connected to that. I can move
the file to the new puter that way.

You state "Take ownership of the files"? Just what does this involve?
