did u format it or not?
if u didn't format it it will be under a folder similar to this:
but first go to folder options
click on view
click on show hidden files & folders
uncheck "hide protected operating system files"
then go to your documents and settings folder
from there choose your old username
the new ones will look like "username.computername"
so choose the old ones
then go to application data folder
in there go to microsoft folder
then outlook folder

most of the things should be under there

contacts
follow same steps
this time look for address book folder under application data\microsoft

there is 1 more place the files could be at but i cannot remember it right now, so if this doesn't solve your problems holla back :)
