Retrieiving contacts off external drive

[mbl]

My harddrive crashed. Copied all data to external drive before crash. New
harddrive installed. I use Vista. I cannot make my contacts appear on my
Outlook 2007. I have read the tutorial and many questions, but it doesn't
seem to help. Please completely explain (in layman's terms) how to do this.
Thank you!

We already have many times. Explain what you are doing and what you don't
understand.
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:
