Impossible to read a pst file on the "normal " way

[Guest]

I want to read a pst-file which was saved from a PC which had serious disc
problems so that the disc had finally to be replaced. So I guess that, due
to these technical problems, this file is not fully OK, or "corrupted" as we
say usually.

When I try to open or to import the file in Outlook , I get the message
"Properties must be defined prior to use" + thereabove "The file....pst" is
not a pst file".
When I try to use " scanpst.exe", I get the message: "an error has occured.
Scanpst was stopped. No changes were made to the file"

However, as I want to read the content of this file. I looked on the web to
find a pst-file editor but I didn't find any sw of this kind.

Have you some tip to help me to analyse the content of this file?

Than you beforehand.

There are quite a few companies that will be glad to attempt to repair your
PST for a fee. Google finds them easily. Look for "repair PST".

Hello, Brian,
Thank you for the tip. I will look for these companies on the web. If I get
an interesting result, I'll come back to tell.
