The motherboard on my computer died. I was able to pull the hard drive and
install it in another system as a secondary drive. I can see all the data on
that drive but can't seem to find where my email files were stored. There
are no pst files in X:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook - the only pst file I have is a backup I made 2 years
ago. The new computer won't boot to the old drive so i can't launch Outlook
from there to export to a pst. I'm using Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP
system. Does anyone have any ideas?

Enable searching hidden files/folders and look again. When found, use
File->Open->Outlook Data File. Do NOT import.

I tried that - there are no .pst files.

What account type do you use - IMAP or Exchange Server perhaps? In that
case all your messages *may* still be on the server.

If not, better search again...
