Hard drive can no longer boot into Windows, need access to Outlook data.

[joatmeal]

Forgive me if I'm in the wrong place to ask this question, but... I have a hard drive that is no longer able to boot into Windows. I actually had to use a recovery program to retrieve the files. (Used Active@ File Recovery; wonderful program 11/10 recommend) I found the Outlook profile (.pst) and restored it, but there are emails (email folders with saved emails) missing and all the contacts are missing. Typically when I export Outlook data, I HAVE to do it in the program. I need to know if I can retrieve contacts, emails etc without having to run the program with the email profile active.
Outlook 2010, was on Windows 7 Pro

Any info will help,
Thanks!
Jenn

Are you using outlook with an Exchange server?

No, just POP

You could slave the drive into another computer, then navigate to the following directory to look for a .OST file.
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

@aford10 - I navegated there but the folder is empty. Even when I do "show hidden files" nothing comes up. I'm using Windows 8.1
