Default Contacts file location?

After my Windows XP crashed recently, I had to do a
parellel installation of XP. I had to reinstall all of my
programs, but was able to access all of my old hard-drive
files. However, after re-installing Outlook 2000, I lost
all of my contacts information. Does anyone know where to
look for the files that might contain my old contacts, so
that I can import them into the re-installed Outlook?

What is a "parallel installation?"

The file you need to look for 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:
