Not sure if the link worked.

But, you need to copy the PST files off of the CD/DVD first.
Outlook can't open a PST file unless it can write to it - and it can't write to it on a CD/DVD.

So you need to copy it to your computer/network, right click on it and select properties and uncheck READ ONLY

Then add it in Outlook
