Recovering Outlook .pst file
I am using Win98 with Outlook2000.
Tried to open my personal folder (ie personalfolder.pst)with outlook but it failed. Error msg is that the pst file is corrupted & I need to use Inbox repair Tool to repair the file.
I managed to use the Inbox Repair Tool to have the file "repired" (with Scanpst.exe)& then I tried to open it with Outlook again. But all I get at the Personal Folder is a blank folder.
According to Microsoft, this shld be the normal case & that I shld have another folder called "Lost & Found". But unfortunately, this "Lost & Found" folder is no where to be seen.
Q: Where can I find this "Lost & Found" folder, is it created somewhere other than in the Outlook?
Q: Does it means that I am not able to recover my pst file?
Q: Is there any other possible option to have a corrupted pst file repaired?
Thank You!

This sounds really bad. Do you have a copy of the pst file before the repair?

Hi Doebuck
Nope, there is no current backup. The last backup was 1 month before the corruption.
Have any solutions?
Sticky situation er?
