Default Can't import *.pst files in outlook 2000

A windows 2000 install failed and I got an NTDLR message. I couldn't
get in so I copied the data files onto a CD. I reinstalled windows 98
and then imported the saved *.pst file into a newly installed outlook
2000. Everything came over except the last 3 months. Then I realized
that I had imported an archive file. When I tried to import other
*.pst files, none would come over except those labeled archive.pst. I
have tried everyting, like using the open command--nothing; I checked
each of the files and made sure the the read only box was unchecked. I
am flummoxed because when I go to import, the following happens, here
is the process: import\import from another program or file\personal
folder file\address to the *.pst file\select the folder to import
from--now here is the interesting point--the address that appears in
the the space is always Personal Folders in the outlook open window,
not the address I gave. When I click finish, I get the message that
tells me that I cannot import from the same file that the file is
destined for...Any ideas?
