Please help me get my contacts back
I just reinstalled windows and Office XP pro on my system. I backed up my
entire hard drive before I did that. I need to retreive my contact list from my backed up drive. I forgot to export my contacts before I reinstalled windows. Is there any way I can get my contacts back?

You shouldn't have exported your Contacts in the first place.
Just open your previous Outlook Data File in your new installation. 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] "ophelius" wrote in message ...
