Hi team,
I have searched for guidence but to no avail.... HELP please. Vista has failed and I have only "command prompt (DOS) and a 4 gig memory stick to recover data. I can not see the directory in dos that I believe the data is stored - c:\users\gibbonz\appxx\*.pst. Using Vista Business, with a Dell Inspiron. Outlook 2007 only as a email and contacts manager (as part of Office 2007) I am trying to rebuild the boot loader but not having any luck and would really like to recover emails and contacts. I have transfered Documents, photos and spreadsheets with no issues. Help with the likes of "app data (.PST is in a hidden file / directory )and you need to ???" would be great. Look forward to a solution Thanks |

The file you are looking for is (assuming you haven't changed any defaults):
C:\users\gibbonz\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst You seem to know your way around cmd, so I won't belabor you with step by step "type cd appdata", etc. Even though the folder is hidden, you can still access it in the cmd prompt. In case you need to see hidden folders again, here's how: In the folder you know the thing is in, type "dir /ah". As I figure you know, "dir" will simply show all the folders and files you could see just by double-clicking on the folder. The "/ah" tells it to show all hidden folders and files. This will, however, only show the hidden ones. If you need to see everything, drop the "h" and just type "dir /a". This will show you everything, including system files, so be very careful. Good luck. |

To recover the pst file. You can use Inbox Repair tool which is used to repair corrupted file of pst. To run Inbox repair tool fallow the steps:
1. Click on start goes to the search then click on files or folders option. 2. In search box type scanpst.exe. 3. Double click on the scanpst.exe file to open the inbox repair tool. 4. Then enter the location of Pst file and its name or browse it for the path. 5. Then start to repair. This way you can repair your pst file. But if your file is badly damaged you may not able to repair it. At that time you can use some software. You can try a tool called Advanced Outlook Repair to repair your PST file. It is a powerful tool to recover messages, folders and other objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft Outlook PST files. Hope this helps. |
