I need to recover my Contacts.

[Michael D Fulton]

My operating system crashed. I installed the OS (Windows XP Pro) on a new
hard drive and placed my old drive in as a slave. I need to get my contacts
and possible emails from my old hard drive. Is this possible?

Search the slave drive for .pab
..pad = Personal Address Book.

Once you locate that file just import it into your current contacts.

I am using Outlook 2003. I understood that it no longer uses PAB files. I
did a search and can not find any.
