Discovered after deleting backup.pst from an external hard drive that my
import to Outlook 2007 did not complete. However, there are intact Outlook
folders--including messages--on that external drive. How can I import those
folders, with contents, since they are not in any import format Outlook
recognizes?

What format are they in? Not a PST presumably?

If these are stored in the msg-format you can use drag & drop from the
Explorer window into the the Outlook windows to get them into Outlook again.
