PST Checker / repair

[Skyline]

Guys,

i have a corrupt PST file with a lot of info in there.

I've used the one that comes with office, but it's not finding the files I need..

Is there any more out there that work better?

1. On the Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open box, type drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\LocaleID\scanpst.exe
   where LocaleID is the locale identifier (LCID) for your installation of Microsoft Office. For example, the LCID for English (United States) is 1033. For a list of LCIDs, see Microsoft Office Help.
3. Click OK.
4. In the Enter the name of the file you want to scan box, type the path and file name given in the error message above.Note You may not be able to use the Browse button to locate this file because it is located in a hidden folder.
5. To change the options for logging errors during the scan, click Options. If you choose Replace log or Append to log, the log file is saved to the same directory as the .pst file.
6. Click Start.
7. When the file scan is completed, select the Make a backup of scanned file before repairing check box.
8. Click Repair.

It's the only way to repair them, other programs will cost you to even attempt to reapir them

Its the only correct way to actually repair it, using the SCANPST.EXE. As it should fix 90% of the corrupt files and allow restore.

What happens when you try to mount it to outlook?

How big is the .pst and how long did the scanpst.exe run for?
