MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / April 2005"Unable to open your default e-mail folders" missing .pst file
I am getting this message when I try to start Outlook - "Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The File c:\Exchange\mailbox.pst coule not be accessed. Data error (cyclic redundancy)." What does this mean? I've tried to find help by searching posts - can't find or don't understand. Please help. See if this page helps: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/scanpst.htm To repair a damaged Personal Folders PST file Hal  SignatureHal Hostetler, CPBE -- hhh@kvoa.com Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-S/U -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"

When I ran scanpst.exe (Inbox repair tool) it told me to run scandisk.exe first - can't find it - it isn't in programs/accessories/system tools and when I do a search it doesn't find it. I'm using XP would it be called something else? > See if this page helps: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > find or don't understand. > > Please help. If you hard drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, you won't have a "Scandisk" command. You will have a "ChkDsk.exe" which does the same thing as scandisk on NTFS drives.

Hello Hal, Thanks, I do have NTFS system. Ran check disk - ran defragment - retried scanpst.exe and still get message "An unexpected error prevented access to this file. Use Scandisk to check for disk errors, and then try using the Inbox Repair Tool again." Any thoughts on what I should do next? > If you hard drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, you won't have a > "Scandisk" command.

Ran chkdsk.exe again and it seemed to work/fix this time (along with several other bad files I didn't know about). Then ran scanpst.exe again and that fixed it. Thanks for all your help!! Don't know what I would have done without it!! > If you hard drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, you won't have a > "Scandisk" command.
