system crashed - how to restore outlook contacts

I had a backup to an external hard drive. Reloaded all software, did
"Bounceback" restore, which has me select files to restore. I restored
microsoft files, outlook files, etc., but my outlook is not restored -
folders, contacts, calendar, etc. not there. Since my email is webbased, I
retrieved those. I need elementary level help, please. thanks

How to restore Outlook data from backups is posted here on a daily basis. A
third party utility would never work for this.
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:
