Default Salvaging pst file on dying hard drive

I have a hard drive that has begun the all too hauntingly familiar
clicking sound indicating that the reading needle is about to fail. I
cannot boot off this hard drive without it freezing up and clicking
non-stop. I have hooked up the HD as a slave on another computer and
salvaged all my important files except any mail-contacts-calendar from
Microsoft Outlook. I need this information more than any other.
I cannot access the "Owner" log on and I am under the impression that
the pst files are saved under this identity. (Owner\Local
Settings\Application Data\Outlook\archive.pst from my research this is
where I need to go)
Does anyone have an idea as to how I can salvage my past
emails/contacts/calendar information without booting on the damaged HD
or running Outlook?
