Outlook 2000 to 2002 upgrade/repair, How to retrieve my Contacts!

[Ash]

Hi all,
After a hard drive/mo-board combined failure, I had to
rebuild my computer. Installed Outlook 2002 and was able
to salvage my old hard drive. Problem: Trying to
retrieve my Outlook 2000 address book and import it into
2002. Any ideas? I never exported it, and am hoping to
be able to find a magic data file and import it, but no
luck. To add another wrinkle... Prior system setup was
Win 2000 Pro and Office 2000, now I'm running XP Pro and
Office 2002. Any help would be appreciated, I don't want
to lose some rare numbers!
Thanks

The file you need to look for is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's
where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
