Outlook (2000 % 2003) does not recognised my .pst folder
I backed up my .pst folder onto a DVD disc (with other data) and re-formatted my machine. I've finished re-installing everything, including an upgrade to Outlook 2003.
When importing/opening/adding my .pst file I get an error suggesting to me that the .pst file is "not a personal folders file". The file is over 80Mb, and password protected. I tried it in my older version of Outlook 2000 and the same error. The data on the DVD backup all works; so I don't believe the data is "corrupt"...though it might be? I have tried Outlook Inbox Repair Tool - but it too doesn't recognise the .pst file as a valid file. Help? |

Did you copy the pst files to your hard drive? You can't use it directly on the CD/DVD disk.
Also, if you didn't close Outlook when you backup the pst files, the files are very probably damaged. |

Check if the file has "read-only" property, if yes, turn it off and try again.
If it still doesn't work, the file should be damaged and unrecoverable. Quote:
