How can I find Outlook data on old hardrive?

The C drive from my dead XP machine is mounted in an external case attached to my Vista machine. The drive is working fine and I can access data but I haven't been able to find Outlook history so I can transfer it to my new machine.  I did not do a recent export or backup on the old machine before it died.

I'm using Outlook 2002

(I haven't found a .PST file on the drive but that may be because I can't figure out Vista's Search.)

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

The pst files for outlook are typically located here:

c:\documents and settings\<username>\Application data\Microsoft\Outlook

Hope this helps!

The default folder for Outlook PST files is:

C:\Documents and Settings\user_id\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
