It's a file that's called Outlook.pst It's going to be in Documents and Settings/Your user name/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook.

I'd use your file recovery program and search for "*.pst" or "outlook.pst". You should be able to find it ok.

After you get up and running, go to Microsofts download page and get their Outlook back up program. It will save a copy of the pst file automatically, or as you decide to another disk or partition.
