How to import outlook contacts from another drive
My hard drive crashed and CompUSA put all my data on an external drive. I
used my XP recovery disks, and then reinstalled my OfficeXP disk. When I search my external drive for .pst files, I get two Office Data Files, one says archive and the other outlook. I cannot open either one. I have read through many other questions and tried many of the suggestions, but I have not yet been able to get my "saved" contacts into my "new" outlook. Thanks for any help!

How to import outlook contacts from another drive
First. Any .pst files have to be in a read/write area of the hard drive.
For instance - you cannot open or import a .pst file that is on a CD/DVD that many recovery services use. But you do not have this problem because you said it is on a hard drive. Assuming this is some second/slave drive in your system, and seeing as how you know the exact location of the file.... What happens, when in Outlook, you do File - Open - Outlook Data File Then browse to the hard disc location and try to open the data file ? -- Thanks "GregH" wrote: My hard drive crashed and CompUSA put all my data on an external drive.
