c:/documents and settings/your user name/application data/identities/{e934873-39493-39494}/microsoft/outlook express should contain a bunch of .dbx files, those are your folders in outlook express. To save your contacts go to file->export->address book in outlook express. You can then save your contacts as a .csv file and later import them back on your new installation. Hope this helps!
p.s. that path is where they are on win2k I'm not 100% certain that xp keeps them in the same place, maybe someone else can check that, make sure to enable 'show hidden files and folders' in your folder options.
