Hi,

It’s a Seagate Hard Drive having Windows Vista installed on it and using Microsoft Outlook version 2007.

My Outlook application crashed several times, and then it said that it can’t open the PST file. So I tried using Scanpst.exe, It couldn’t open it and said there might be a problem with the disk then I think I made a mistake, I right-clicked on the file, and tried to revert to an earlier version. There were multiple shadow copies of the file, and I tried reverting back to the most recent one. When it was almost done, it crashed, and then basically deleted the PST file. Once the PST file was deleted, the shadow copies were also gone.

So I think the next thing I did was used a Recovery tool, which basically located deleted PST files on my drive. Then I tried to repair them.  It didn't work.  

Can anyone suggest me software which would help recover my emails out of these PST files.

Laurel, before changing the version you should have taken the backup of .pst file and worked on that instead of making changes directly on the original .pst file.

Anyways, you have now recovered your .pst file…Main work is done…The left out work is recovering email messages from the .pst file.

Well, you can repair or recover the lost emails from the corrupted .pst file by using a Data Recovery Software i.e., Outlook Mail Recovery Software. It is a powerful Microsoft Outlook Recovery Tool.

This tool does a much more than what a Microsoft Inbox repair tool (i.e. “Scanpst.exe”) can do. This software has the most advanced algorithms ever designed to recover data from Microsoft Outlook emails archive file (.pst).  Software recovers attachments, including the documents and images attached to messages and embedded in HTML bodies. And also recovers embedded objects, such as Excel Worksheets, Word documents, etc

First try the Demo version, which displays all the folders and the recovered emails inside each folder, which gives you a fair idea about the chances of recovery; however viewing body of each email and recovery of emails is possible with full version only.

Try the software and let me know the results.
