MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2004Recover Outlook XP contacts
I installed a new main hard drive in my machine. Installed XP Pro, installed my Office XP and copied over most of my data from the old hard drive. When I copie my Outlook XP files from the two locations in the "Documents and Settings" to the same two locations on the new drive my archived mail and contacts do not show up. Am I doing something wrong? Can I recover at least my contacts? I really don't want to have to retype all 300 into Outlook. Tyson tacouch at gmail dot com Indeed you are doing something wrong. You must never overwrite PST files. You will corrupt your Outlook profile. Instead, Outlook must be configured to use your previous data. The Help files tell you how. The procedure for Outlook 2002 is the same as for Outlook 2003: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I installed a new main hard drive in my machine.
