Posted on: October 29th, 2008 Recover the corrupted .pst file for Microsoft Outlook

I am using PC (Windows) at work, and also use Microsoft Outlook for the email client. One day, I couldn’t open my outlook and it said that the data file is corrupted ( windows can’t handle me :-) ). After I checked the .pst file (the data file that actually stored/hold all emails, it usually named outlook.pst), the file reached more than 1 GB for the size. No wonder it’s that big, because I have been using outlook for my work email for the last 2 years (almost).

To recover it, i simply using SCANPST.EXE. the file is located under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12. very easy to find and to use. Just double click the .exe file and follow through the instructions. If you have a big .pst file size like I did, the scan will be take a while. when you scan your .pst file, make sure that outlook is closed (do not open it).
