Default Email retrieval

I have recently had problems with my pc and have reinstalled my operating
system on to a new hard drive.
I have now reinstalled outlook and receiving and sending email is fine.
Prior to reinstall I had a lot of emails on outlook that I had archived for
easy reference. Is there any way I can retrieve those archived files?
I still have all my original data on the drive I am no longer using, but am
worried about copying them to my new drive as the reason I had to reinstall
was that I had a virus.

Thank you in anticipation of your response

Do you now have a decent anti virus application installed, together with
other malaware detection apps?
Your old outlook data is contained within the *.pst files on the old drive,
locate and copy them to the documents folder of your new drive. You dont
mention your o/s, but you may have to 'take ownership' of the old
files/folders - see win help
Once on your new drive open the data files within Outlook
