The got an error message while in Outlook about the file and needing to check it with the ScanPST file. Before doing this the system was rebooted and did a chkdsk which did find some errors and corrected. When the system came back online the Outlook.pst file was showing as 0 bytes. When examining the *.chk files that were created there were only a few and they were all under 8kb. The unit has not been used since then. What would you recommend to try and recover this? It's not a deleted file so a simple undelete will not do it... my guess is the MFT has been altered and I don't know if there are any recovery tools capable of helping here. Thanks for your thoughts.

It’s not a deleted file so a simple undelete will not do it… my guess is the MFT has been altered and I don’t know if there are any recovery tools capable of helping here.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I have a friend whose over-sized PST (Outlook 2k) disappeared after an improper shutdown (power outage) which we have not been able to find / recover by any normal means. Might the process you are describing here work in this circumstance? Does this mean that there’s hope?
