MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006importing contact list from back up drive
Because of multiple XP issues I had to do a hard reboot multiple times as well as puchase a new Office CD. Consequently I lost all of my old contats. Fortunatley, I backed up the entire drive, but can not locate my contacts folder on the back-up drive. HOw do I do this? Mike First, never import Outlook data. Just find your old Outlook Data File and reuse it. 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: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Because of multiple XP issues I had to do a hard reboot multiple times as > well as puchase a new Office CD.
