Retrieving Outlook Contacts/Address Book

[James Morrison]

Hi, we suffered a hard drive crash and I was able to retrieve the pst
files and dat files from the drive.

But I can't work out where I can get the contacts/address book data is
stored?

I've tried searching the drive for *.pab but it fails as part of the
drive is corrupted

I have looked in

C:\Documents and Settings\Account Name\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

C:\Documents and Settings\Account Name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Where are the contact/address book data typically stored?

If you have no .pab file, then the contact data is in the Contacts folder in the .pst file.
