Never import from or export to a PST. It is unnecessary and will lose data.
Open the PST with FileOpenOutlook Data File (or Personal Folders File,
depending on your Outlook version, which you don't state).

If the PST is on a CD, you must first copy it to your hard drive, taking
care not to overwrite anotehr PST of the same name, then remove the
read-only attribute with right-clickProperties. After that, you should be
able to open the PST.
