Transferring Old Outlook XP e-mails to a new install?

[Riamus]

I have a corrupted Windows XP Pro SP2 drive and reinstalled Windows on a new
drive after the recovery thing didn't work off the CD (it kept freezing at 34
minutes remaining). Anyhow, I want to get all my e-mails from the old
drive's Outlook into my new drive's Outlook. I know how to export them if I
have access to the drive, but since I have no access, is there some other
way? The drive works fine, so if there is some utility or file I can move
over, that would work fine. I just can't load Windows on that drive to make
a backup from.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks. I was being stupid... I didn't have my search set to search hidden
and system folders, so couldn't find the .pst file. Thanks so much.
