How to get Office 2007 emails off bad HD?

Sorry if this has been answered before, but search didn't show up relevant info.

Well that may depend also on how/what you searched for. ;)

My hard drive won't boot anymore and I need to figure out a way to get my emails.

I am using Office 2007 Pro and my emails are in Outlook.

So we are talking of:

  1. - fixing an unbootable system (on an otherwise working hard disk, spinning, seen in BIOS, etc.)
  2. - fixing a corrupted partitioning/formatting (as above)
  3. - recovering data from one of the above
  4. - recovering data from a dead drive (no spinning, no detection in BIOS)

You need to post some details, OS you are running, disk size, how it was formatted/partitioned, filesystems used, and an actual description of the "symptoms" you can see, how/when it happened, etc., etc..

This way it will be possible to help you in one direction or the other.

The more data/descriptions you can give, the better.

I corrupted my hard drive so it won't boot anymore. I tried recover and restore, but nothing recreates the boot portion. I reinstalled windows on another hard drive.

I can access all my files from my other hard drive and I have copied everything to the new hard drive. I can't access the emails and import won't seem to import except from a backup file or another program.

I just need a way to get them off the hard drive and into my new office 2007 Pro. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I searched the office folders, but couldn't find where the emails were located.

I see. :)

Here is a good start:

If the .pst files aren't corrupt it should be just a matter of following the instructions on MS site, I don't think that anyhting has changed between 2003 and 2007, but cannot really say.

Thanks much for the links. I was able to just import the original .pst. I didn't think to search for .pst files as I figured MS kept them in an encypted format or something.

Thanks again.
