Recover Outlook 2007 if .pst file is missing (Vista) ?

[Jimmy]

Hi,

I had a failed hard drive (corrupted boot sector) on my Vista machine
running Outlook 2007.

I am able to see/recover most of the data from the disk. However, I cannot
find my Outlook.pst file anywhere on the hard drive.

Please let me know if there is any way I can recover my data.

Thank you!

PST files are hidden. Likely locations are well documented:

Why not just rebuild the boot sector instead of replacing the hard drive?

Since as you stated the drive files were got damaged that's why being corrupted the Outlook pst file is not able to be located by you. Outlook 2007 pst repair is possible to be done by means of using inbox repair tool that comes with Outlook 2007 application and is introduced to fix the problem associated with Outlook program whether it is pst file corruption or damage issues. But as the tool is provided limited recovery feature so in case if the pst file is harshly corrupted or is got oversized then you will be required using Outlook pst repair software to get the entire pst file data recovered safely.
