I'm using Outlook 2007.

I recently reinstalled Windows on my computer and I imported my old outlook
PST file to restore my folders and email.

However, there is also an Outlook Archive.pst file that is not being accessed.

What is the best way to handle this? Should I just import it? Or is there
a way to simply 'attach' it to my existing set up.

You should never transfer Outlook data by importing it.
Just open any data file that has data you want in the current installation.
Since you already archived this data, why do you think you now want it back
in your new profile?
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Import is a wrong choice. When you see Whatever.Pst file, just open it.
Might want to back it up before opening it, just in case...

File - Open - Outlook Data File...

Okay, thanks both of you.

Got it.
