Default Importing Data from Backup

I'm trying to bring in my contacts and calendar from my old computer to
my new one, and have copied the data into a file and put in on cd. The
file is an Outlook Data File as confirmed by Explorer. When I copy the
file into the Local Settings--Microsoft--Outlook folder, it appears
there as having the same file size. But when I try to open it within
Outlook, either through the import function, or simply file--Open Data
File, nothing happens, and it simply creates a new personal folder with
nothing in it. I know that it copied the data because I watched while
it said copying "calendar" and "contacts". Am I doing something wrong?
