I was just updating my computer with Windows 2000 SP4.
The update appeared to go ok. During the update, I
realized my Outlook 2000 (SP3) was still running so I
decided to close it.

After the update and rebooting, Outlook fails to open. It
reports that it can't open the outlook.pst file. I've
confirmed this with just another text editor in trying to
open it and I'm getting a File Read Error.

I don't know if this was due to the upgrade or some other
reason, but does anyone know if there is any tool that I
can use to possibly fix that .pst file. I really hate to
loose all the emails I had in it.

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide me.
 
Try running the Inbox Repair Tool against your .PST file to see if it finds
any errors. Search your drive for a file called scanpst.exe and run it.
