Sounds like you saved your archive.pst and not the active .pst file. Contacts are never archived which is the dead giveaway here. How old are your mail items in this .pst file? Did you copy your active .pst file (hidden file) or just the .pst file that you saw using Windows Explorer? Do you still have access to the hard drive with your old data on it or is this the one you formatted?
