outlook.pst missing

I went to load Office 2000 and the message read outlook.pst was missing from
the C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder. I did a search and
copied the file from C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Upon reload of Outlook, all emails and contacts were
gone.

Any idea how to retrieve my information?

Thanks in advance.

Bill,

I tried to open the file and received this message even with Outlook shut
down:

The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a
portion of the file.

Try running scanpst.exe on the PST file. Alternate that with running Windows
chkdsk.
