Hi guys, installing SP1 killed my notebook. The technician was able to
take out the hard drive and put a new one in. The old drive has the
old data on it. However, I cannot find my previous Outlook data file.
My main email is through an Exchange server but old data has gone from
my former pop3 account.

It was quite difficult to get some of the Users/Jo data because it
seems that Vista removed this as a security feature. However, I've
managed to get some of *my old app data back, just having trouble with
Outlook.

I've done a search for *.pst and *.ost files to no avail.

Is there any other search term I should try to find the data file?

Thanks in advance,
Jo

Thanks to you both for replying. I do have folders unhidden.

And Vista removed the Users/Jo folder during the crash, which is why I
was asking if any other extension types might be worth searching for.
