    Locating Outlook 2007 data file

    My hard drive crashed and i'm trying to locate and restore my data files from
    my bad drive to my new hard drive.

    Where do i find the .pst file? When i try to look through OUtlook, it says
    it's in appdata/. There is no appdata subfolder.

    Depends on what OS and Outlook version you were using on the old hard drive.
    Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

    \AppData is normally hidden

    To show it, you'll have to change it in Windows Explorer:
    Organize - Folder & Search Options - View
    (.) Show hidden files and folders

    When you do find it, place it in a folder under Documents. Then it will get
    backed up when you back up your documents. You do back up, don't you!

    Happiness is a recent back up!
