Inaccessable Personal Folder File (Outlook.pst)

Using Outlook '02 - I get an error when I open Outlook
saying that "Outlook.pst" is not a personal folders file,
and thus my inbox, calendar, etc can not be displayed.
I've run scanpst, and it says that the file can not be
checked for errors because the file is too small. I
checked and my "outlook.pst" shows a size of 0kb.
Is all lost - or any possible solution?
Thanks,
Chris
 
This is indeed not the filesize for a valid pst-file. Have you searched your
harddrive for additional pst-files?
If you don't have a back-up all data is lost indeed.
