My friend's whole business is in her outlook and she lost the whole thing.
OK. Here's what happened.
1. Computer didn't boot up. Got an error message stating the System 32 files were not found.
2. She inserted the system restore disk and did a "refresh". She hadn't exported all the outlook folders to a separate *.pst file on removable media.
3. So, used the autoback up to restore all her data but apparently the *.pst files were overwritten.

Does anyone know of any type of utility at all that could help recover them?

at this point if she didnt have a current back up of her PST files.. it is done for
unless she did an install over what she had. then at that point she would have to search for *.pst files and attempt to reload them

LOL You're welcome.

I downloaded a copy of "Recover My Files" and it's finding most of them...
