I've been using outlook through office 2002, but recently my hard drive
crashed... I got a new hard drive and now I have office 2003 installed on it.
I am able to connect to my old hard drive still and pull stuff off, using it
as a secondary drive, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get all
of my outlook contacts from my old computer without having to boot to that
drive... Is there a file somewhere that I can open and has all of my
contacts? Or a folder I can copy to my new computer to have them?

Somewhere on the old drive would be a file called "outlook.pst" (unless you
called it something else, but the extension would still be *.pst). It
depends what OS you had on the old HDD as to it's location. Search the old
HDD for *.pst - you may have to enable hidden files in your search. Then in
Outlook do File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate to where you found it.
Just copy your contacts from the old Contacts folder to the new.....
