Default Retrieving Personal Contacts Subsequent to Running Repair and Rest

I was having trouble with outlook. I ran the repair and restore function and
corrected the outlook problem. Unfortunately all of my contact information
previously on Outlook is now gone. Can this be retrieved?

Default Retrieving Personal Contacts Subsequent to Running Repair and Rest

Most likely. If the repair process created a new profile, Outlook simply
created a new data file. Your old one should still be on your hard drive.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
