If you formatted the drive the pst file was on, you need to search the
internet for Format Recovery and probably purchase something to recover it,
but that may not work either.
 
If running scanpst.exe does not fix your file, then you are out of luck
unless you have another backup somewhere that you made.

Maybe the same answer as in the other posts which you multiposted.

After reformatting you need to re- install Outlook to be able to open the pst files
