I was running office 2000 when my drive crashed.
I have a full backup of the disk on an external drive.
With a new drive, I installed (under xp pro) outlook 2003 and now I want to import the emails from the backup.
The backup disk has a .pst in the place I would expect it
C:\..\Documents and Settings\joe\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst
but the size is only 48KB while it should be somewhere between 1 and 2 GB.
I did a search for .pst files but only found trivial files and an old backup I made 2 years ago.
Any suggestions where my emails, contacts, tasks etc can be?
