The PST location for Outlook varies slightly BY operating system and Outlook version.
On my Windows XP SP3 machine with Outlook 2007:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER_ID\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
PST's are 32kb by default on creation and will have a creation date that matches other files in that folder.
Search for *.pst as there might be archive.pst files located elsewhere.

Thanks for the information. I was able to recover the PST. I forgot to search hidden files.

This is locking the barn door after the horse is stolen.. but
What I do is a simple backup of my pst about once a week
1. Open Outlook
2. File Export to PST
3. Make sure you are at the ROOT of your PST (Ie not just in the inbox)
4. Check "Include subfolders"
5. Save the file to a differnet drive. I use a file name of YYYY MM DD Outlook backup.pst.
Note - it can take a while to back up a large PST.
Every once in a while I go out and delete the old backups.
THere is also an add on available at the microsoft office site that can create backups for you.
