I have had a new computer built. My old hard drive is now configured as a
slave to the new C drive. How do I copy my contacts list from the now slave
drive to the new C drive?

All Outlook data is stored in a single Outlook Data file. There is no such
thing as a separate "Contacts List."
Most users simply reuse their Outlook Data File when they migrate to a new
installation.
We could tell you how to do that if you posted your relevant Outlook
versions.

Yes, I would like to reuse my Outlook Data File. I am running Outlook XP
(2002). I would appreciate instructions as to how to do this.

These instructions will apply to both Outlook 2002 and 2003:
