I have a stupid friend who formatted his C: drive and realized all his e-mail and adresses now are lost. He was using Outlook 2003. Now i can recover the files and folders on the drive with 'GetDataBack For NTFS', but i don't know wich files and folders i need to recover to copy to the new outlook installation.

Can anyone help?

just make sure he does not use this disk before doing this, he might overwrite segments where the files were
