Default pst file already in use

I'm trying to import my pst file created by Outlook XP into a new pst file
(for increased capacity) created in Outlook 2007 which I just installed. An
error comes up saying this pst file is already in use in this profile. How do
I work around this?

Nevermind. I tried removing the source file from Outlook (after making a copy
of it just in case). Then I was able to import its data into the new pst file
just fine.

Do not import. Just open the old PST with FileOpenOutlook Data File and copy
the contents of each folder to its corresponding folder in the default PST.
