>>Can you connect the old drive back? If so, that is probably your best bet and export your mail etc to .pst files first. I learned that the hard way. If you don't get a better answer here, you might try the MS Office forum.

I never was able to figure out what files I was supposed to get from another location. That's why I mentioned putting the old drive back as the main drive, running the program and exporting to pst file. I don't think Outlook saves the files as a PST file, but uses it for exporting and importing.

When I had this problem, it wasn't that big a deal for me so I didn't bother to research it and just decided to kiss the old mail good bye. However, I did think about, but didn't do this:

Close everything.
Change the date to a date on the PC to a date in the future, say 1/1/03.
Open outlook and update some files like contacts, get a message, send a message.
Close Outlook.
Change the date back.
See what files have the date of 1/1/03.
Maybe overwriting these files with the files that have the same name on drive D will do what you need.

I'd make a backup in case it messes something up pretty bad. I wouldn't think it would, but it might. And, I don't know if that would work, but it makes sense to me.

If it did work, the bad side of this trick is that you loose anything that's in what you have in Outlook on drive C now. If you want what is in Outlook on your drive C now, you need to also export what you have now to pst files. So you can import and merge it with the old copy.

There was another reply to your message that I think said the data was saved in a pst file. Maybe that has to do with the differences between Outlook Express and Outlook 2000. I use Outlook 2000.
