7x7, I suspect that the problem here is probably that there isn't a problem where you think there is a problem.
Refer to Mack Buffet's post.
ALL the Outlook data, including the Address Book/Contacts List (call it what you like) is where he said:
C: \Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
So, if you can get at the old Folder on the old HDD, you will see 2 files. They are:
Outlook.pst
and
Extend.dat
With Outlook not running, copy them to the new Outlook Folder. You have to have opened and closed Outlook at least once.
When you next open Outlook, you will get a message asking if you want to create new shortcuts because previous shortcuts will have been deleted. You should say "Yes".
There you will find your folders, accounts, e-mails waiting to be sent and even Calendar reminders. Journal shortcuts to document files will not work, of course, if the files are not on the new computer.
I use this technique regularly when working with Clients' data to test their backup and synchronisation procedures. I rename my own Folders to hide them and then switch back when the job is done.
But beware the problem highlighted

BTW, the Outlook Express Address Book is actually the
Windows
Address
Book presented in a slightly different way. That's why it's called the *.wab. There is no direct connection between this and the Outlook Contacts List.
