Importing a "read only" .pst file
I copied my Outlook 2007 .pst file and the most recent outlook backup file from my previous computer that ran Windows XP. The files are on a CD, are apparently "read only" and I no longer have access to the previous computer. How can I import this data, onto my new computer? It also runs Outlook 2007, but with the Vista operating system. My attempt to import the .pst file resulted in a message informing me that I did not have the approporiate permission. -- bsimard

Importing a "read only" .pst file
Outlook cannot open read-only PST files. You need to copy it to your file system, and remove the read-only flag if necessary. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?

In addition to what Michael said - DO NOT USE THE IMPORT FUNCTION. In Outlook do File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate to where you put it. Then either copy the data to the existing pst file, or set the old file as the default delivery location. (Depends on how much data you have....)
