I have a backup of my old machine (with Outlook 2003). I never archived the
the contact list to a PST file in the old machine. I no longer have my old
machine, only the dirve image of it.

I have a new machine with Outlook 2003 and I want to get all the contacts
that I had in my old machine. I founf an archive.pst file in the backup, but
it does no have contacs. It only has sent items and calendar items.

Which files do I need to restore from the Hard drive image to restore my
contact list?

Thanks or any help.

Contacts are never archived. They would still be in your default Outlook
Data File, not your archive file. If you don't remember the name and
location of that file, search for *.pst. It will be a hidden file on most
OS.
