Contacts question
 
I have Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP system.

I had a motherboard failure last Friday, and am trying to get things
back up & running. I was able to get all my old email over onto the new
system (my old C drive is now a slave drive in my new system). However,
the contacts didn't come with it.

How can I get the contacts over to the new instance of Outlook 2003?

Any help appreciated.

How did you move the mail? Can you open your old PST on the other hard drive
using the File menu Open Outlook Data File command then drag/drop the
info you want from the old PST to the new one?

I looked for a .pst file on the old drive, and then opened it & then
changed it to point to the new drive.

Since your old PST contains all your Outlook data - contacts, mail, tasks,
calendar, everything, what you state is impossible unless you transferred
your data incorrectly. State EXACTLY what you did and we'll be able to tell
you how to fix it.
