The AppData directory that linney pointed you to is a hidden directory. If you are browsing these directories using Windows Explorer you will need to have the "Show hidden files and folders" option configured. If you want to see a directory listing view of this folder from the command line enter the following or copy and paste the following into a command prompt. Run this command under the C:\Users\Thomas directory as you did in the above post.

dir AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

Open Outlook and click on File/ Data File Management, this will open a windows with the location where Outlook is storing the .pst files. Have a read of the text which appears in the lower pane next to the "Tell Me More" button.

I can't start the computer whit the original outlook instalation is.

But I have another XP comp where the same version of Outlook is installed.

Here it tells me that the file is called Outlook.pst
And is placed in
C:\Documents and Settings\Lars\Lokale indstillinger\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
And true enough there is an Outlook.pst file.

On the recovered disk there is only a All Users in
I:\Documents and Settings\
And no files at all.

I've searched for *.pst throu the entire drive - nothing
(ps. I aware of hidden files in the search)

I believe that for the .pst files you have to show protected operating system files not just hidden files and folders.

Cheers.

.PSTs are notprotected but it cant hurt to uncheck that box too.
Maybe try to recover them? - ZAR -

What is wrong with the original computer? Will it start in Safe Mode, can the drive be removed and put in your current computer?
