Taking Oulook 2007 emails from old hard drive

I've recently pulled the hard drive from my laptop because the computer will not boot and I need to use the recovery disc. I'm able to hook the hard drive up to my wife's laptop and I've successfully transferred all of my documents to her computer so that when I recover the laptop I will be able to get the documents back.

One thing I have not been able to take off of the hard drive are the old emails. I can't find any .pst files on the old hard drive and I'm not sure where to look.

I am running Vista 64 bit. Can anyone help me to find the folder---files, etc on the hard drive so that I can take them over to my wife's computer?

Thanks!!

Welcome to WindowsBBS

The .pst file(s) should be approx here:
Windows Vista: Drive\users\Username\appdata, where Drive represents the drive that Outlook was installed to and Username represents the user name that Outlook was installed under.

Thanks, Steve! I had to remember to show hidden files and then I found the outlook items. Before I do the total recovery of the toshiba, do you know if the .pst files will contain attachments as well as messages? If not, where will I find them?

Thanks again
