MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2007file back-up from corrupted hard drive
My hard drive spins, but won't boot windows. I have a special cord to extract files from the hard drive to my friends computer. I want to save all important files before re-installing windows on my comuter. How can I be sure to save all settings, emails, appointments etc so that after I re-install Windows and Outlook 2002 I can import these files successfully? Where do I find my settings, emails, appointments etc on my hard drive? (where are Outlook 2002 files/settings stored?) Thanks a ton! -Bronco bronco11111@hotmail.com Your PST file(s) will contain all your data - email, contacts etc. usually located in: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook  SignatureBill R MVP > My hard drive spins, but won't boot windows.

I really need the data in the PST files, any tips you have are MUCH appreciated. -Bronco > Your PST file(s) will contain all your data - email, contacts etc. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > bronco11111@hotmail.com The safest way is to open the file via File | Open and copy what you want over. Importing can cause issues. Just make sure the PST is not set as read-only or you won't be able to open it.

Never export or import to move data between Outlook instances. See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm SignatureBrian Tillman |
