I have moved data from a machine, re-installed xp and moved the data and settings using the wizard. In the process I appear to have lost my outlook.pst file, despite specifying that it should be included. Any ideas on recovering the file would be welcome. Is there a way to read the DAT files to see what was actually backed up?

The .pst file should have been relocated into the Application data folder which is hidden by default.
Did you try a search for the file? If not why not try that and include hidden files and folders in the search.
Also I might be talking through my hat here cus I'm not really sure about this but I suspect your outlook data would not be automatically imported into outlook and would need to be manually imported after running files and settings transfer?
sorry if i have that wrong.
