If you can find abook.mab and history.mab on the old drive, copy them over the existing abook.mab and history.mab in the new profile folder to recover your old Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses.

If there are other mab files on the old drive, import them to TB with the help of this add-on: MoreFunctionsForAddressBook.
