situation as follows;
1. from notebook, copied PST file to CD (using Nero)
2. open PST at home PC, using open PST file...; error msg "not valid PST
file"
3. use scanpst.exe utility ... same msg "not valid PST valid"
4. tried import command in Outlook... same msg "not valid PST valid"

what gives?

You either burned the data too fast (PST files don't like to be burned above
4x) and/or you didn't check the option to remove the ";1" from the file
names in Nero's options dialog.
 
Check that the .pst file is set to RW (read/write). If it is simply copied
from the CD then it will be set RO (read only).
