ook to see if you have a PAB (Personal Address Book) file.  You may need to import this into your current PST.

Locate the file by using the Windows find tool. Click Start / Find / Files or Folders.
In the Named box type *.pab - ensure the Look in box is looking on the drive that Microsoft Outlook is located (usually the C: drive).
Click Find Now
This should locate the Microsoft Outlook address book, if present.  

Import via
go to file --> import and export
select import from other program
and next page select personal address book
and browse to that file
and then try importing
i did not see a pab file
i can view hidden files
what is the default folder that pab files are supposed to be stored in?
