Default How do I copy the Outlook Contacts file?

Anchor-Man here again, trying to be self-sufficient and show some initiative,
and failing miserably. I found the PST file, copied it to My Docs, then
burned to a CD. Took that to the laptop, and Windows can't read it. Tried
e-mailing straight from the desktop's Outlook folder, but at 312Mb, it's a
hefty care package. Running XP Pro and Outlook '03 on the laptop. What else
can I try to get this resolved?

I did this before using the network, through the hub. Now the network places
are gone and I just need to be able to find the file on the desktop, e-mail
the file to myself and download it on the laptop to the proper location. I
feel as dumb as an anchor because I don't know how to find the Contacts part
of the Personal Folder anymore. Extremely frustrating. Now I've just
remembered that the guy didn't save my Favorites folder either, with hundreds
of critical research links, and I'm in the middle of a manuscript...

I've just replaced my laptop's hard drive and need my contacts to do
business. I've read a couple of the instructions for people with my same
question, but I still have problems doing so. I managed it before, when I
copied my Contacts from my laptop to Outlook under my profile on my wife's
desktop. Now I can find the pst file, but it's one big file and not just the
contacts. I don't understand anymore how to access just the contacts, and
e-mail it to myself to download on the laptop (nothing to save it onto, and
networking is not-working).

PLEASE HELP!!!!
