Recovering Calendar and Addresses from crashed drive

I have a hard drive which became unbootable but had all of
my Outlook data on it.

I put the hard drive into a machine with a bootable drive
and I can see the contents but can't find my Outlook files.

I have searched for both .ost and .pst files with no luck
but I am certain the disk contains Outlook data.

I am also unsure how, once I find them, if I can even open
them without having created .pst files first.

All assistance appreciated and thank you.

Robert
