Answer
Hello Vaibhav how are you doing



you can import the PST file from microsoft office 2000 to microsoft office 2007 , thats going to import all the email msgs with their attachments and the contacts too.

all what you have to do is search your D: drive for *.pst " make sure searching in hidden system files and folders are enabled"

you may find a couple of PST file in the search results , copy the one that has a bigger size for example 500MB or 1GB and not the 240KB and paste it in C: drive or whereever you want and rename it to a unique name such as outlook-old or outlook-2000

then open outlook 2007 and then goto Tools->Accounts
Click on "Data Files"
then Click on add
and choose "Office outlook personal folder file (.pst) and click ok
then navigate to the pst file location that you copied it to for example C:\outlookdara\outlook-2000.pst
and click ok
the pst file will be added

and you will see it added in the left pane under " mail folders" you can keep it that way seperate or select all the msgs and right click then choose "move to folder " and move them to the inbox folder that you want , and do the same for sent msgs and drafts

if you need more help , please feel free to contact me back anytime
take care and good luck.
