HRESULT value HRESULT’s name Description / Known reason?
0x8e5e0247 ESE Error JET_errSectorSizeNotSupported Your contact database was created on a unsupported storage device.

Not sure what to say about this one… You may want to perhaps attempt to recover or just delete %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live\Contacts.

If this continues on a new database, there may be a problem with your storage drivers.
