Restoring address book

My hard drive crashed but I had a lot stored on an external drive. When I
tried to copy Outlook back on the internal drive it made me reinstall the
Office program. Have I lost all the info and address I had before the crash?
It was Office 2000.

No. Just find and open your previous Outlook data file in your new
installation of Outlook.

On the hard drive that failed or on the backup you made of it before it
failed.

Depends on what you named it. Just search for *.pst and make sure you are
searching hidden files.

I found the .pst file but can't read it. And if I could, how do I handle it?

Describe exactly what you did to try to "read" it and exactly what happened
when you tried.
