Yes, of course. Here is the current situation:
Slave has multiple archives which I made before I removed the drive from the
old comp. This drive also has the Data File.
How can I get New Outlook to be exactly like Old Outlook? That's probably
the best way to put it. If you are familiar with this, you may call me
865.300.5049
I'm really desperate to get this done as it is a Law Firm's computer and the
calendar has all it's billing information for the last year. This needs to
be done ASAP.

You need Milly's help. See if you can understand the reply to the previous
thread, "Importing caendar from Outlook XP..." She explains how to do it
there.

It appears to me that the drag and drop would require the old calendar to be
open. Thoughts?

On second thought, just configure Outlook to use your old .pst file unless
the calendar is all you want.

Try this:
Locate your old .pst file on the slave drive using Windows Search and ensure
you have ticked the advance option to search hidden files.
Once located, remember the location, you may want to write it down. Or just
move it to your new drive, your choice. If you do move it to your new
drive, do not overwrite the new .pst file. Put it in My Documents or
someplace easy to remember.
Open Outlook and in File->Open->Outlook Data file, browse to your saved file
(My Documents if you used my suggestion.) Open the new .pst file that
appears in your folder tree using the + arrow to expand the folders.
Open the calendar and change the view to By Category. Select all, right
click and drag all of the entries to the calendar FOLDER where you want
them.
Of course, the easiest way is to just re-use your old .pst file and skip all
of the above.

According to Microsoft Outlook Help, here is where the file should be saved to:
drive:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Good luck!
