Default Moving my contacts folder to a new machine

I moved my Outlook 2003 SP2 PST file from one machine to another.

Basically I copied over the existing PST and DAT files on the new machine
with the ones from the old machine.

When I opened Outlook on the new machine, all my mail was there but when I
try to access the contacts folder from the "To" field in a new mail document
I get the error "Address Book could not be displayed. Contacts list
associated with this address book could not be opened." If I click okay I
get a blank address list and then I can select from one of two contacts
folders: one that is empty and one that has my contact info in it.

How do I delete the empty contacts folder and make the other one my default
contact folder?
