Hi,
I know how to solve this problem by using outlook express, but I don't know
how to do that using office outlook. I mean pc is broken and my task is to
take hdd and save outlook messages and contacts somehow. Any Ideas ?

thank you
Vilius

This post is just in time.

I have much the same problem. The hard drive will not boot, but I can
access it through a USB enclosure.

To save the contacts, which file should I be looking for and how do I
reconnect it after I re-install the OS on a new hard drive?

Take a look he
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm

I found *.pst file but can't find any *.pab files, which are address book as
I understand.
(I have at least one entry in my outlook contacts section)

pab files are old technology - "address books" are now contacts and stored
in the pst.
