Restoring address book

[Dick]

My hard drive crashed but I had a lot stored on an external drive. When I
tried to copy Outlook back on the internal drive it made me reinstall the
Office program. Have I lost all the info and address I had before the crash?
It was Office 2000.

No. Just find and open your previous Outlook data file in your new
installation of Outlook.

Where do I find that?

On the hard drive that failed or on the backup you made of it before it
failed.

Depends on what you named it. Just search for *.pst and make sure you are
searching hidden files.

I found the .pst file but can't read it. And if I could, how do I handle it?

Describe exactly what you did to try to "read" it and exactly what happened
when you tried.
