Can we recover list email & contacts after OS reinstall?

Our computer froze, and Gateway tech support had us reinstall the Windows XP
Pro OS. They said we wouldn't lose ANY files, but it looks like email &
contacts are totally gone from Outlook. Is there any way I can recover them?
Thanks!

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:
