contacts.pst not valid

[binnsdrafting]

I exported a copy of my outlook 2003 contacts to my new laptop via a flash
drive and everyhting works great. But the next time I loaded Outlook 2003 on
my desktop I received the following notice:
The Path specified for the file G:\contacts.pst is not valid.
Of course the G drive is the flash drive - otherwise when I click OK Outlook
appears to have all of its normal functionality. How do I rid myself of this
error?

REmove any reference to the flash drive under File->Data File Management.
