Hotmail contacts are stored on the Live server....see if they are present by logging on with your Live ID at mail.live.com, then selecting Contacts or to directly to open the Contacts folder use contacts.live.com Fyi...for future use...both the Hotmail interface(click Options/More Options) and WLM provide the ability to export contacts to a csv file and a savable to your choice of location(folder, jump/external drive etc) for safekeeping. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "Sablon" <hugonoel_@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:09efe039-7e8b-426e-8420-cbd8c46894d4@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello! > > My computer crashed and I had to erase my C: disk.
