I ended up locating this program[^] using Google. I have never used (or heard of) it before, but it has a free version that might do what you want.

I'll give it a go. From memory it will show you what you have but not actually convert it. I'm currently using FREE Outlook OST File Viewer to access the Contacts details one at a time manually.

To get the OST file off of the bad drive, you may want to live-boot into a Linux distro (I would recommend Fedora Workstation) and copy it to a USB flash drive, then copy it to a working Windows computer and use the program I linked to (or some other program, incl. Outlook) and convert it from there.

There's nothing wrong with the HDD, I think my old computer is completely stuffed due to the avalanche of Blue Screens it now gets. Put the HDD in another completely different computer in the hopes I could get in to Safe Mode and run Outlook to then copy contacts out. It Blue Screened, but I think this was definitley a driver issue.

For stuffed HDD or ones that can't boot, I use Hiren's Boot CD - Mini XP or Parted Magic.

It's not Spam, it is what I was looking for, something someone has found or used that maybe able to help me.
