There are many cases when your Outlook may stop working and start asking you to repair Outlook PST file using scanpst.exe (scanost.exe fro OST files) tool. The power failure and file system error can make OST or PST file unusable. After trying the scanpst utility you will be surprised that your recovered file is truncated to 2Gb and a lot of information missed. So it is better to use special tool which designed especially to repair Outlook data after multiple possible PST/OST damage scenarios, which is more powerful than free scanpst tool.

Outlook Repair and PST / OST Recovery

Outlook Repair procedure is very simple.

It is very important: Please close Microsoft Outlook if it is launched. Check the system tray and ensure that Outlook icon disappears and it is not accessing the source OST / PST file. If you would like to recover or convert OST / PST file which is placed to the network, please make the local copy of it and process the file copy. It is always good idea to make a backup copy of your source data.

1. Download Outlook Recovery Wizard tool, install it to the system where 32-bit Outlook edition is installed and configured and run the tool.
2. Type in or select the Source PST (OST) file. You may press Browse button and navigate to the folder where your PST / OST file is located.
3. Target PST file path and name will be suggested automatically by the Recovery Wizard. It is recommended to change the location to the folder which is not the same as the directory of the source file. You may select the target folder using the Browse button.Top

The output file format is set as Outlook 2003 by default but you can change it. You need to do it in case if you want to use the recovered / converted PST file in Outlook of previous version (2000, 2002).

4. If you would like to speed up the recovery, turn on the special option which allows to skip the data preview stage. If this option is enabled the program will read and immediately save the recovered data without pause on preview.

Turn “Skip data preview page” option ON if the output file is not generated. The problem may happen in some cases when the third party program (antivirus tool, phone contact manager) or Outlook add-in are blocking access to the Outlook data structure.

6. Press Next button to see the data preview. If you evaluate the Outlook Recovery Wizard, please inspect the data preview very carefully and make sure that the recovery result is satisfied for you. Top

7. Press Save button and Outlook Recovery Wizard will start saving.
