Ok I sorted it out last night, The advice to search for the *.pst file was correct, and why I wasnt finding it is because I had to search in hidden folders and files... I picked up a thread in another post on here, where the pro was telling somebody where to physically find the .pst file, and so when i tried I realised that i couldnt find some of those files, and thats when it dawned on me that it must be in a hidden file, and there it was.

Hi all, Recently I had a very bad virus problem which cleaned out all my plug and play stuff and a load of other important things. So baiscally rather than f discing that hard drive, I put a new one in and put windows and all on that, so using the old one as a slave whilst i take my time to transfer all my files over. I was using outlook on the old hard drive for all my pop3 emails, and it contained all my emails and personal stuff... I loaded office back onto the new hard drive, and was given the advice to do a search for *.pst files on the old drive, and when found import them using the new outlook on the new hard drive so Im up and running again. I tried it last night and couldnt find any .pst files, and so does this mean that basically I will never be able to retrieve those files, or was this person wrong and I should be looking for somethng else? cheers Lee
