Help - Need to find Contacts!

[Mike McGinley]

I am in a desperate situation.
I had to reformat my hard drive. Prior to do this, I copied my entire User
Profile to another drive. I can now access my User Profile information from
Windows Explorer.
Now that I installed Microsoft Outlook, I do not see any of my Contacts.
I need to restore my Contacts to the new Outlook installation. Again, I did
save my entire "User Profile" from my previous installation of Windows 2000
Professional. I just do not know how to access my Contact information from
Outlook that included addresses and phone numbers and such.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

What do you mean you "saved your User Profile?"
What exactly did you save and now?

The file you need to save 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:
