Default Trouble importing .pst files back into Outlook

Never import PST files.
Open them.
Remove the read only attribute it acquired from being on a CD before you do.

Hi... I recenlty had to reformat the hardrive. So I exported the Inbox
and Contacts and Sent folders to .pst files and renamed them
accordingly eg Inbox BACKUP.pst (not really knowing what I was doing).
I put them in My Documents and burned them onto disk.
Now I have them back in my document and I have tried to import them
back into Outlook.
I get a message that it is not a Personal Folder file. What have I
done wrong. They are .pst files!
