You never import Outlook data.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Copy from cd to Documents folder, in explorer examine properties of this pst
file and remove the read only flag.
Then in Outlook, FileOpenData File .........browse to this pst
