I had some electrical work done on my laptop at CompUSA. I had them perform a full backup of everything on the computer before performing the work. When I received the laptop back, I had an "Olddata" folder on my desktop which took me to all my old files. I was able to find and import a .pst file into outlook, but could not locate my contacts file that contained all of my Outlook 2000 contacts. Does anyone know what file extension I should be looking for? Any help is greatly appreciated

All Outlook data is in the same PST file. Contacts are not separate.
Look for another.
