Can't improt PST File

[Guest]

Hi guy!
i am very sad.
I have copied the outlook folder from
"documents and setting/loacal settings/username/microsoft/outlook"
to a cd. Then I installed a new hard drive and set up outlook.
Then I replaced the outlook folder with the one I have copied.
Now it does not recognize anthing and give a error message.

Then I reinsatlled outlook again and I did import .pst file.
This time it said: outlook.pst (the one I have copied before) is not a
personal file folder.
I use Scanpst.exe to repair the buck up file but it disply this massage
"" The inbox Repair Tool Does not recognize the file C:/xxxx/xxx.pst. No
information can be recovered"
Please help me because in the buck up file is my life"
Thank you

A PST file on a CD must be moved to a hard drive and have its read only
attribute removed before you can use it.
Once you do, open it in Outlook. Never import it. Never use it to overwrite
another file.

Then you may have corrupted it when you created it. If you created it by
exporting, that is often the case. Have you tried repairing it with the
Inbox Repair Tool?
