Contacts on 2nd Hard Drive
My hard drive became unbootable, so put in another one with Windows XP &
Outlook 2003 reinstalled - trying to import my contacts/address book from the previous hard drive (can access data, not bootable), but had never backed up as the help says to move to another computer. I can't seem to locate the right files to do manually - Help! Thanks, Jeanette

Contacts on 2nd Hard Drive
Posted here daily. When you read this information, make sure you understand
that you would never use importing for this task unless you have some need to alter or lose your 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: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "JMBNette" wrote in message ...

... My hard drive became unbootable Did you try to regenerate the boot record? That can often make the disk bootable again. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
