I have recently replaced Windows 2k with Windows XP OS. This not an
upgrade. I have seved the PST file before the replacement. I am running
Office XP. I have imported the PST file and the calendar is showng as
Personal foldar not as the independent Calendar. Thus, I am not getting any
reminder of my appointment. I could not Copy/Paste the old Calendar to new
location. How do I make my old calendar as Default?

Never import from a PST. Open it in Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data
File. Then, either make that PST your delivery location ("Delivery new
e-mail to the following location" drop-down on the botom of Tools>E-mail
Accounts>Next, stop and restart Outlook) or copy the items from the
newly-opened PST to the one you are using as the delivery location.

NEVER import a native outlook file. Simply use File->open->Outlook Data
File. Navigate to your saved .pst file and open it. Close any newly
created .pst file. Or, easier for me, create a new mail profile and
configure it to use your saved .pst file.
