unable to import pst files

Hi!
I'm new around here. Brand new. And this is what brought me here. Hope
someone here can help.
I had formatted my hard disk And I had backed up my files before that.
Evrything went right back ...except for the pst files. They somehow dont like
a new house it seems! I've tried disabling the read only option. I've even
used scan pst. But the error messages i get are

"Properties for this information service must be defined prior to use"

and when i click ok

"....the file....outlook.pst is not a personal folders file'

some one has done a 9/11 on my files!

Well can someone could please help!....

Did you "Export" the files originally?

check that the PST doesn't not have the read-only attribute set. Outlook
needs write access to open it.
