Reconnect your pst-file by File- Open- Outlook Data File...
Otherwise, post a lot more details about your configuration.

Hi Roady, and thanks.

The installation seems to have removed my pst file completely. There is a
new blank one generated now, but no old outlook.pst anywhere on my PC.

Installed Office 2007 Enterprise edition, onto a PC running Windows XP and
Office XP professional.

Open Windows Explorer and enter

%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

in the Address bar and click Go. I'll wager the old PST is there. It's a
normally hidden folder.

An OL installation cannot delete a data file, only user intervention can do
that.
Search, to include hidden for *.pst

Well unfortunately, that appears to be incorrect.
My Contacts appear to have been permanently deleted by installation of 2007..

Never happens. There is end user error involved here, and there is more to
your story.

Just do a START-SEARCH-Files and Folders and search for *.pst. You'll find
it.

Leave out the LOCAL SETTINGS part of that address and you might find it
(like on my machine) running Office 2003.
