Can't find my email folder or contacts folder in Windows 8

My computer would not boot up so I had to replace the hard drive. Unfortunately I did not back up or export my email folders or contacts, etc. I was using Outlook 2007 email.

The drive I replaced would not start up windows but it is readable so I now have the bad C drive with the data connected as a second drive on my PC. Is there a way I can recover the data or create and export a backup file from the old drive to my new drive? I can’t even file the file where the data is normally stored; it used to be under the appdata\local\ etc. Maybe because the drive is not being booted up by an operating system I can’t see all the files? I’m not sure so please help me find my emails and contacts! Thank you in advance for any help I receive!

Have you posted this in the Performance and Maintenance Forum ? Although subject is email, also a recovery issue.
