I am trying to locate my business contact data from my old hard drive and import into my new computer (vista/office 2007). I have looked for a bcm file without finding one. I found the mdf and ldf files, but am not certain as how to link these to outlook/bcm. I tried creating a new database, but don't think I did it correctly. Help is much appreciated.

In order to import from a file, you first need to export to a file from your old database.
You can also try copy the mdf file from your old machine to the equivalent folder on the new machine. Then in BCM select that database. BCM should first attach the database to sql on the new machine, making it selectable. If it doesn't work, you can try attaching the database/mdf file to sql directly, using sql tools.

Starting with the first suggestion, how do I export from my old database if my old computer crashed (the hard drive back up is now on my new computer). Re; the second suggestion, I tried to cut and paste the files into the equivalent folders on the new machine and that didn't work. Thank you.
