Old system died. Harddrive ok. Office 98 in old and I need to transfer the
contacts and if possible the calendar. Old HD set up on external drive and I
can load other item with no prob. How do I transfer contacts and calendar?

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:
