Default Can not find .pst files

Had a problem with XP so I reinstalled on a new HDD and made the old one
slave. I installed Office 2003 on the new drive and figured it would be easy
to transfer my data...BUT...even tho a search finds my old pst files on the
slave drive when I go there in Win Explorer (they are right where I would
expect them according to the search E:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook) they are not listed. I have
enabled show hidden files and disabled hide protected file STILL nothing
....Please help someone Please!
Why does a search show them an WE does
not?????????????????????????????????????????????

If Search finds your files -- just copy/move them directly from the search
dialog. If you haven't already done so, customize the Windows Explorer
toolbar to add the icons for Copy and Move. When you find a file in Search,
you can just highlight it and execute the command.
