Recover contacts after reinstall

[David]

Hello,

I have reinstalled Office2000 on my new system w/xp. It
has a brand new empty contacts section in outlook. I have
both of my old hard drives with the old office installs
also on the machine. How can I get my original outlook
contacts to display in the new install? Thanks for any
suggestions.

Sounds like you store the information localy, so you need to go to start, search, files and folders, so first make sure you have show all files selected, in the search window, go to tools, options, view and choose show all files, next type in *.pst then you need to open each one now that you have the location, in Outlook, go to file, open, personal folders pst and browse to the path in your search, open each one and check the contacts, once you find them copy them over by right clicking the contacts and choosing copy to folder, select the contacts folder you want them in and then press ok, once all that is finished right click on each pst and choose close.

Hope this helps,

Craig
