I have Outlook 2000 running on Windows XP. During a sync with my Palm PDA a
crash occured, and some of my contacts disapeared both from my PC and my
Palm. I made a Ghost Image in February, so most of the lost contacts should
be on that image. if I can just figure out where, and how, my contact are
stored I should be able to figure our how to access, and recover them.

Any help would be appreciated.

The file you need to look for 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:
