Default pst file repair question

Hey guys,

I was in the process of backing up a PST before moving the client to
exchange. During this process Mcafee decides to kick on, and locks the
computer in question, and the pst file is now showing limited emails, but
the whole subfolder structure. The pst is 605 meg, and no matter what i do,
i can "recover" about 110 megs of mail. I;ve run scanpst.exe, a few free
tools that claim to be able to read pst files. Regardless if i use one of
these pst readers, or outlook, it only shows me the 110 meg of mail. So my
question is, A can there really be ~500 of dead space in the pst file, and
B is there any real chance of me recovering these emails? The next step i
plan on taking is this

and after that im gonna resort to a peice of commercial software such as
this. http://www.repair-outlook.com/

Does anyone have any advice to give?
