Default MOVING EMAIL BETWEEN DRIVES

I'm replacing my hard drive, which has Office 2003 and XP Pro, for a
larger one. I will install a fresh copy of XP Pro and Office 2003 with
most of the updates. My wife and I use Outlook for our mail under
separate user accounts. After the new drive is running how does one
transfer all the accumulated mail from the first drive, I assume this
is possible? I have no idea where it's stored or if it is
transferable. Upon completion I plan to delete the present C partition
and use it for storage. TYIA

Your emails are probably in a Personal Folders File (a .pst file). Open
Outlook and go to File-Data File Management, should give you the paths to
all of your pst files (can have multiple per profile so check all Outlook
profiles).
