I've had to redo my HDD, therefore Win XP and Office 2003 have been
re-installed from scratch. I have an archive.pst file and I've tried
going to FileImport and Export and importing the file and I've also
tried FileOpenOutlook Data File and select the "archive.pst" and I
get an error that the file is not a personal folders file. Can
anyone offer any solution?

If your PST is on your hard drive and not read-only, if you get the message
that the file is not a personal folders file, then it is toast. If the data
it contained is very valuable, you'll have to purchase one of the PST
recovery tools available commercially.
