Unable to open your default e-mail folders...

[wayne bialy]

While attempting to move the .pst file to another
computer, I missed the step advising to make a copy
of this file to work with.

When I cleared the file's Read-Only attribute the machine
freaked and re-booted.

When I tried to go back into Outlook I got the error box
that said...

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. File
access is denied. You do not have the permission
required to access the C:\Documents and Settings\
{name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\
Outlook\Outlook.pst"

Is the .pst file retrievable?

Can I do something to regain access to my account?

Thank you.

What version of Outlook? Is this an Outlook 2003 Unicode .pst file? Did
you remove the Read-only check mark from the .pst file after moving it?

Outlook 2002.

I removed the Read-only before moving it.

The system crashed.

When I tried to go back into Outlook I got the "Unable to
open your default e-mail folders." error.
