Had to reinstall SP Sp2 and then Office 2003 student/teacher edition
on new notebook. Dragged the .pst and assorted files from an
external hard drive to the notebook to: drive:\Documents and
Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook,
drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Application
Data\Microsoft\Signatures, and I think drive:\Documents and
Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

The personal folders and calendar opened fine, but the Contacts will
not open.

No need to post three times.

By dragging your PST around like you did you've damaged your mail profile.
Not badly, but it's damaged nonetheless.

If I were you, I'd start with a new mail profile, pointing it at your
existing PST and adding in your accounts again. You can also try removing
hte Outlook Address Book service from your existing profile, stopping and
restarting Outlook, then adding the service back in.
