I am in a desperate situation.
I had to reformat my hard drive. Prior to do this, I copied my entire User
Profile to another drive. I can now access my User Profile information from
Windows Explorer.
Now that I installed Microsoft Outlook, I do not see any of my Contacts.
I need to restore my Contacts to the new Outlook installation. Again, I did
save my entire "User Profile" from my previous installation of Windows 2000
Professional. I just do not know how to access my Contact information from
Outlook that included addresses and phone numbers and such.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
 
You need to search My Computer for *.pst making sure you look in system
folders, hidden files and folders, and sub-folders (as well as wherever you
backed up the data to). Depending on the version of Outlook and your
personal habits, you may have outlook.pst, mailbox.pst, archive.pst,
backup.pst, and maybe others. Your personal data is saved in the .pst file.

Once you find it, all you need to do is import it into your current .pst
file (the one that was created when you installed the system). You may also
want to copy the others to the same location for safe keeping.

No import needed. Just open it within Outlook using the "File>Open..." menu
item.
