I made my old harddrive my slave drive, and it had all my old outlook info on
it. I reinstalled outlook on my new drive, and now I can't find my old
contact list. I have tried importing it, but the import couldn't find the
microsoft outlook 2000 address book on my slave drive. How do I import it? or
find my outlook contacts using windows explorer? (Which I have already tried,
and still can't find it)

Outlook does not use an address book.
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:
