Default Outlook - Email retrieval

Hi Everyone,

Recently my cheap water cooling system leaked and fried my motherboard as well as my tv card. I have tested the rest of my components and they are working, I have built my machine with a new motherboard. When I switch my machine on it doesn't boot into windows, I have gone through the Windows Repair Utility and it was unsuccessful.

I now know that I have to do a clean install. I have managed to add that hard drive to my other computer and get some files off. I am having some issues with my email though.

I have copied files in the following locations:

> USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
> USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook

Since the emails are of most importance, please tell me if Outlook files & settings & all other outlook info, are in any other location, other then the above mentioned.

I have also tried locating the folder LOCAL SETTINGS and all I found, was a shortcut which, when I click to open it tells me that the folder and its contents are no longer at that location. I then tried searching for the folder LOCAL SETTINGS and 4 shortcuts came back and no folders.

- I have changed the setting to be able to see hidden files.
- OS is Windows 7 Pro

If anyone has a lot of experience with this sort of stuff, please tell me if copying files from the above mentioned locations is enough to get all my emails back after the clean install or do are there more locations that I should be looking into.

Thank you!!
