How do I reactivate a pst file that was moved

[JJ]

My laptop had to be wiped clean due to a virus and I transferred my pst files
from my on-line backup to my laptop after re-installing Windows and I get the
following message when trying to open the pst files: The file was moved,
renamed, or deleted (and wasn't closed from Outlook first).

Is there a way for me to fix these files?

Probably not. What steps did you use to corrupt the file?
Have you tried the Inbox Repair Tool?

Russ - I thank you for the advice. I ran this scan and it worked on two out
of the three PST files that i was trying to save, one of which was the most
important file.

Thank you again.
