If your old mail is there, your old contacts are too. The first thing to do is to verify that you are seeing all the folders in the old PST -- remember, the default view in OL2003 shows only the mail folders. To see the other types of items you must click on the icons at the bottom or view the entire folder list. What do you see when you click on the Contacts button in the navigation pane?

You may also want to verify that you set your old PST as the default for your new machine. You can do that at the bottom of the Email Accounts dialog (Tools|Email Accounts|View or change existing email accounts).

My mail is there okay, but no contacts.  I made a complete backup of my hard drive before the reinstall so I'm not missing any files.  I've search the old drive just to be sure there aren't any other pst file out there too.  I'm tempted to go back to Office XP and see if my contacts show up again.
