I lost my hard drive, but before it crashed I exported my
email to a .pst file. Now that I am up again, I am trying
to import that file and I get an error saying it is not
a .pst file. It is an Office Data File with a .pst
extension. Is there any hope?
 
If you're trying to access the PST file from a CD-R or CD-RW disc, it won't work due to the file's read-only attribute.

If that's the case, copy the file to your HDD and then remove the read-only attribute. You can then import its contents into your current Personal Folder storage.
 
Make sure the file isn't marked read-only. If it's on a CD, move it to
your hard drive and remove the read-only attribute.
