Import Outlook 2007 contact into Outlook 2007?

How do I copy Outlook 07 contacts from one dual boot partition to another?

I have Outlook 07 running in Windows Xp and in Vista and don't seem to be
able to find where the address book is stored. File extension?

I'd sure appreciate some help here as I'm frustrated enough with Vista
already.

If you have a dual boot machine and your partitions are viewable in both
instances of the OS, then just use the same PST in both instances of
Outlook. Use Control Panel's Mail applet to configure them.

Thanks Brian BUT I've just wasted a lot of time with the "Data File did not
close properly" message and finally got Outlook working by reinstalling it
and just copying messages into it instead of using the previous Outlook.pst.
Now I want to do the same with the contacts.
Is there a seperate file extension (such as *.wab) or is it strictly
embedded in outlook.pst?

Sorry about double posting. When I first tried to post with this message I
got an error message telling me that my post could not be posted ...without
further explanation. I then set up a new sign in and tried again. It turns
out that the first one DID get posted after all.

Outlook's Contacts folder is in the same file as all its other folders: the
PST.

Whatever makes you feel important!

Too bad you couldn't answer the question instead of making snide remarks.
It's not my fault that working in Windows inevitably results in a steady
dose of errors with no explanations.

Hmm, too bad you don't recognize humor when you see it.
