Default Outlook email address books problems

I had an internal hard drive which had the drive letter F. I added an
external hard drive and synced the data to this drive. Used Computer
management and renamed F to another letter, then renamed the other external
drive and made it F. I rebooted and opened outlook. Theoretically Outlook
should not have noticed that the drive was even changed.
I think this happened earlier this week and I had not yet noticed. I had to
reconfigure my computer from scratch (windows Vista). Upon opening Outlook,
it wanted me to create an email account and I declined, but to open Outlook
you have to do it.
I then deleted the the outlook.pst from the C drive, under users. Upon
re-opening outlook I was asked where the personal folder was and I directed
it to the F drive. The file on the F drive is now my mail delivery location.

Hard to answer without more specific information on how you moved your data
and connected it to the new installation. Any reason you can't simply remove
the unwanted folder from the address book view? Normally, you would do so

Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Changeā€¦
If you can't then provide information we can use with your reply, like how
you migrated your data, whether you let Outlook set up its own default data
file, and how you migrated your old file.

Outlook 2003, SP3
I moved my data to a different hard drive. My pst file is located on this
F
drive, the name in outlook is AP2009.
Both Contacts and Business are checked as email address books, but a 2nd
contact address book keeps showing up. When I check it out under view
address
books, it shows
Business: AP2009
Contacts: AP2009
Contacts: Personal Folder
I don't know where this personal folder comes from and I don't seem to be
able to get rid of it.
