Where does Outlook store email history and address book?

I recently bought a new PC, and removed the HD from my old PC. I hooked the old HD up to my new PC as a secondary drive so that I can copy my old files onto my new PC.

I was hoping I could import my existing Outlook email (history, saved mail, etc) and address book from the old HD into my freshly installed Outlook on my new PC. However, I can't seem to locate where Outlook stores this information. I figured there would be an import feature, or at least that I could copy the old files and replace them in the new Outlook directory. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
 
Search for Outlook.pst. Import data from it. You shouls have most if not all of what you are looking for. You may also have to import from Archive.pst.
