Default Locating Outlook 2007 data file

My hard drive crashed and i'm trying to locate and restore my data files from
my bad drive to my new hard drive.

Where do i find the .pst file? When i try to look through OUtlook, it says
it's in appdata/. There is no appdata subfolder.

Depends on what OS and Outlook version you were using on the old hard drive.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

\AppData is normally hidden

To show it, you'll have to change it in Windows Explorer:
Organize - Folder & Search Options - View
(.) Show hidden files and folders

When you do find it, place it in a folder under Documents. Then it will get
backed up when you back up your documents. You do back up, don't you!

Happiness is a recent back up!
