OK hopefully someone can help me here or at least tell me that 100%
for sure it isnt fixable..

I restarted my computer the other day and when it came up my .pst file
showed up as 0kb.... I know this is hard to fix or even not possible
but maybe one of the experts out there can post a possible solution to
recovering just one of the folders with the emails in it.....

Thanks for your help in advance..... this is important... i do have
a backup but there are a few recent emails i need to recover if its at
all possible.

If the pst-file shows up as 0kb then there is nothing you can do from an
Outlook perspective. You could consider disk recovery tools and see what
they come up with.

I figured out how it got set to 0kb, check disk or scan disk ran and
cleaned it out.... is there a way to reverse that?

and how did you discover that? I have NEVER in 15 years heard of Chkdsk or
ScnDsk doing that to a data file....

Chkdsk doesn't "delete" things AFAIK, and BTW you can't have both as one is
W9x and the other (chkdsk) is NT....
have you done a search for other pst files?

Chkdsk does not delete data files
Run a search to include hidden for *.pst
