I imported a bunch of files pst,ect..., which did allow me to keep all my
E-mail from system before I re-installed the OS and Outlook2003.
But now I keep getting contacts listed twice one is empty and the other the
one is just fine..., When I click on the function that manages my Phone books
it lists contacts twice.. My problem is that it doesn't telll me enough so I
can delete the right one.

All contacts are within the pst file(s)
Why import? locate the pst at a suitable location on the hd, then within OL
File/Open/Data File and browse to location

Never export to or import from a PST. It's never necessary and can lose
data.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing Directories or address
books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Select the
unwanted Contacts and click Remove. Click Finish. Stop and restart
Outlook.
