Dear Orin, MsOutlook stores email messages and calendar info into one pst file. Depending on which operating system the client is running, the *.pst file could be located in different locations. The easiest is to search on the problem harddrive for a *.pst file, not the client's email address since the *.pst file could be encrypted and compress. Once you find the *.pst file, make sure to check the file date to ensure it is the correct *.pst file they are using.
Once you find the *.pst file, you may need to run inbox repair tool if the *.pst file is damaged. If your search for the *.pst file comes up nil, the client could have the *.pst file stored on a mapped network drive, or is using the MSOutlook Client to connect to an Exchange Server and their emails/calendar info should still be on a server. Hope that helps.

We have a client whose hard disk will not boot for whatever reason. We can access the drive just fine from another bootable drive. We want to pull the files containing his e-mail records and his Calendar. Since we can't run Outlook from the system as it is on the secondary drive in this configuration and MS insists it is on the primary the only chance (we think) is to pull the actual data files used by MS Outlook. I have tried a search of the entire drive looking for the client e-mail address and it yielded nothing. Thinking I could find it if I put some stuff in my own copy of Outlook (which I never use) I downloaded the week's spam and viruses collected on my qwest.net account from bigfoot. 253 messages. You would think a search for a specific text string would turn up the location. Not a chance. So I hope there is a clever chap here with sufficient Outlook experience.
