Retrieve contacts from second hard drive

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an odd problem: Win XP crashed on my hard drive so I installed Win XP
on another hard drive and have then managed to fix and retrieve information
from the damaged hard drive. However, if I start Outlook.exe from the
recovered hard drive I can't see my old contacts there. Is there a way to
retrieve my old contacts? Are they stored somewhere on the hard drive?

Just copy your Outlook data file from your old hard drive and configure
Outlook to use it.
The file you need to transfer 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:
