where is outlook contacts data stored

[mr chocolate]

My machine crashed -- Ive nearly resolved everything but am unable to
identify the Outlook Contacts and Calendar data file in order to replace the
new default data file with the backed up data file (presumably i backed it
up since everything in "documents and settings" has been backed up). Where
is Outlook Contact and Outlook Calendar data stored?

TIA

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
