Outlook 2003 data loss

[Guest]

I have recently reformated my hard drive and reload a fresh copy of Outlook
2003. Before doing so, I saved a copy of the address book and data files to
an external hard drive. I was unsuccessful in trying to import them or
trying to swap files between the C; and E: directories. Therefore I can not
access my calendar or email information. Is there any hope or am I toast?

I have recently reformated my hard drive and reload a fresh copy of
Outlook 2003. Before doing so, I saved a copy of the address book
and data files to an external hard drive.

Outlook 2003 doesn't have an address book.

I was unsuccessful in
trying to import them or trying to swap files between the C; and E:
directories.

Never, ever use export and import to move data from one instance of Outlook
to another. See if this helps:
