I just installed a new Hard Drive onto my computer, loaded Windows XP
(Outlook 2003) and am using the old drive as a back-up (moving files over
before I re-format it). Here is my Question:

How can I get all of my Outlook 2002 Calendar Data (Appointments, etc) from
my old hard drive to the new one? I can still boot up the old system if
required to get the data. I was able to open my old *.pst in 2003 and I saw
two calendars when I selected "Open Data File". However, I only want to use
the "primary" (write-protected) calendar in 2003. Is this possible?

G'Day Irish,

I'm a Tad confused - when I upgraded to Outlook 2003 (and
reformatted and rebuilt Windows while doing it), I used my "old"
Outlook 2002 PST file.

I copied it to CD before the upgrade and rebuild.

After the upgrade, I located the "new" PST and deleted it, replacing
it with the "Old" one.

Have you tried that?

G'Day Pat...you rock! I must have had a sudden case of mental amnesia
because I did exactly what you suggested and am back in business. I was
trying to import folders, etc...which was way too hard. Should have known to
count on the "man down under" for assistance. The only thing I had to do
differently was to rename my personal *.pst to "Outlook.pst" which is what it
prompted me to do. Again, thanks for the assistance.

No Worries Mate! (I learned to speak a little 'Aussie' in Queensland a few
years back)
