Do Start-My Computer. Right-Click on C drive, choose Properties. Click on
Tools and click on "Check Now" in the Error checking section...

SCANDISK.EXE hasn't been used since Windows 98 and ME, I think. For NTFS file
systems, use CHKDSK.EXE. That's what gets run when you open My Computer,
right-click a disk, choose Properties, select the Tools tab, then click "Check
Now".

My disk where th data was located became "pqrp". I managed to recover the pst file but unable to open on outlook.

So no good for me to try scandisk where the data was not located.

Is there a way to recover old and serious corrupted pst to a new pst ? For me no matter if some the information IN the pst file are incorrect. Hope to at least recover most of it.

Try copying the pst file to another machine with Outlook on it and running
scanpst there.....

If the PST is "seriously corrupted", SCANPST may have some problems with it as
well. If the data is important, one of the commercially-available PST
recovery tools may do a better job. Start he

Did that, no luck :(


Nelson5 June 25th 09 08:06 PM

Did that and the program see as PST but then saysit is not a valid personal file. I even tried to "talk" with Stellar Phoenix because of the error on the Outlook PST Repair but the answer (after a while) was if the program does not repair is because the file is serious corrupted. No help from them ........

Which is the best program between cost and eficiency for my problem ?
