Where IS the Outlook Contact List?

[Robert A]

I had the great misfortune of have my XP installation get trashed, oh bother!
I ended up upgrading to Vista (clean install) and reinstalled Office 2003.
I can read the old disk and have set it up as an external drive until I can
get all my old data off it, then it becomes a "mirror-drive" to the new HD I
installed. Now for the issue, I can't find the old contact list anywhere on
the old drive. My hope was that since it was a simple re-install, no upgrade
on Office or Outlook, I could find the old configuration and bring the
file(s) over and be back where I was before the crash.

What say Ye?!

There is no "Contact List" in Outlook. All Outlook data is in one file. 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:
