PST file corrupt

I have tried unsuccessfully to recover a PST file from a endusers network share.  The file is only 1/2gb but I am still getting a error message of "Errors have been detected in the file <file_path> . Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool."  I can import and merge all the other files but this one is the one most needed.  what else can I try?  I have tried SCANPST.exe and it also gives me the same error message.

What happens if you run an Export command instead of an Import command?
You can probably export a few folders at a time.

I can not get Outlook to even read the file for exporting at this time.
Go into C:\documents and setting\username\application data\microsoft\outlook

and rename outlook.pst to something else

You should be able to restart Outlook now - the default Outlook.PST should be recreated (empty).
