Default Can't find my contacts

For some time I had been running Outlook 2003 at home after the business
closed and I brought this PC home. It was on a Microsoft Exchange server. Of
course, I was no longer connected to the server but all the data was still
there. Now, I had to re-install Windows XP Pro but was able to save the
various Outlook files. Although I have found various .pst and .ost files I
cannot get Outlook to bring up the old data, particularly the various contact
files. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If you have orphaned your OST file then you have lost the data in it. It can
be recovered but at considerable expense. You can open PST files via File |
Open but I'd say your OST contained most of your data.
