Are you sure the file is missing? Search with the Windows XP search function for *.pst and see if the file exists. If it exists, use SCANPST to repair the file (with Outlook closed).

Location of scanpst for Office 2007: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12


If it doesn't exist, let us know.

Install trial version of GetDataBack for NTFS and run a scan. Choose "Recover Deleted Files" as the option and see if it can see the PST as a file that has been deleted. If so, recovery is possible.

Are you sure you chose to search the entire hard drive for *.pst INCLUDING hidden files and system files option???

Yes i m sure i search for .*pst including hidden files and folderes
but it not exist if it deleted by chkdsk /r

are this program getdataback will recover data deleted

Yes, but I just want you to scan your hard drive with it to see if you can see it as a recoverable file. There are other free programs.

Also you should really not be using your PC at this point to increase the possibility of data recovery. If you use the PC and the file has been deleted, it can be gradually overwritten on the hard drive with permanent damage to the file.

I'm assuming you have NO backup or you would use that.
