MS Outlook 2003 - data files stored where?

In a typical installation of MS Office Pro 2003, where would I locate the data files for Outlook 2003? The file path.
 
I forgot to locate them before moving to my newly refurbished XPS 410 Dell PC and now can't find the files on the old hard drive. What I'm needing are the task, contact, and calendar files. I've moved the old hard drive to my new computer as a second drive. If all else fails, I can set up the old computer again but hate to have to go through those hoops if I can help it.
 
My thanks for your time.

Can't remember the exact path (I'm running Vista), but do a search for "*.pst" (without the quotes).
 
or have a look at this article.

Look here.  C:\Documents and Settings\ Your name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst .  This will run your scan.pst repair tool or identify the Outlook file.  Your name is the name you use on your Documents file.

My sincere thanks for taking the time to help. Both replies were very helpful.
 
I'm back in business. I've also downloaded and installed the Outlook Backup utility found on the MS site, so I don't find myself in this situation again. :-)
