Retrieving lost Outlook Contacts file

[Dave Morris]

I recently reinstalled Windows XP and Office onto a
different partition on my hard drive, and when I run the
newly-installed Outlook my Contacts listing is empty. I
didn't delete the old partition, so the original Contacts
file must be there somewhere, but I don't know how to
find it or how to import it into the new version of
Outlook. Any ideas?
