I tried to be helpful.....!

I basically built a new computer around my sister in laws
old hard drive.  It crashed and lost some of Windows
important files.

I put the Windows 98 OS on the new hard drive(call it C)
and transfered some of her data from her old hard drive
(call it D) onto the new one.  Both drives are in the
computer with drive C as the boot drive.

I was able to transfer most of her data to the new,
working C drive.

But I don't know how to get Outlook from the old drive to
the new drive.  She wants all her contacts for her
business.

Is there an easy way to do this?  She doesn't have the
Outlook CD anymore(lost it).

Thanks
Mike

The file you need from the old drive is the Personal Folders file (*.pst)
It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
