screen.
Then I put a new hard drive and install the XP PRO and Office 2003. The old
hard drive is now like a slave.(I can see all the information)

Now I want tofind the contact list of Outlook in the old hard drive to save

Look for a file called Outlook.pst. It may be hidden, and you may need to
take ownership of it. Once you have found it, in Outlook just do
File-Open-Outlook Data File and navigate to where you found it.

The default location is
x:\Documents and Settings\olduser\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
but there's nothing magical about that location. The old PST will be in
whatever folder you decided to create it.
