517406 2007-01-18 23:13:00 I had a notebook with Office 2003 Pro that got fried (out of warranty) and I went out and purchased a new one.
I have attached the old notebook's HD to my desktop and all the data is intact and I can see it across my network.
I have installed Office 2003 Pro on the new notebook.
What is the best way to restore all my settings/emails/data etc... to the new notebook?

If I was to install Outlook where would it put the default directory for .pst files.
Also the person has been using business contact manager too.

517409 2007-01-20 10:27:00 Outlook datafile (.pst) is by default stored in C:\Documents and Settings\[Login Name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

Don't forget to turn show "Show hidden files and Folders" on.

Tools -> Folder Options -> View Tab

You might want to think about copying the users whole "Documents and Settings" area onto the new machine.
